The Same Matter

戴安 | 輕雪詩

決定做些什麼的時候 夜張開了眼睛 長出手腳 在寂寞的洞口 掛上油燈

靜靜的聽 水滴和漣漪 是同一件事情 抽長的青草擦出風聲 在落石及坍塌前 進入到離開 是同一件事情

我們被緩緩運出 成分摻雜了比例失當的憂傷 將相愛及不相愛的我們 分開 變成兩件事情 時間被標上記號

時代指指點點的說了 是我的問題 現在 應該要忘記彼此了 他們不知道 不知道問題 原本就跟答案

站在一起

我在的詩版看到戴安的作品，這首《同一件事情》有種莫名的力量，讓我沉澱了許久。於是我連絡上戴安，取得他同意翻譯。

英文翻譯：

When I decided to take action the night opened its eyes Stretching its limbs to hang the lamp at the cave entrance.

They are the same matter: the drops and ripples that we tranquilly hear. In front of the collapse and the falling rocks They are the same matter: the comes and goes of sounds of windswept grasses.

Gradually transferred love, or without love we were separated by that disproportionate sorrow. Separated in- to two matters. Time was being marked.

I was reproached by time, saying that it’s my crime: We shall forget. They don’t know and could never know that the query should’ve stood

along with the answer.

Note from translator: I came across this beautiful poem of Ann Dai on Taiwan’s famous forum , and I reached out to her, asking if I could translate and publish the poem here.
