odes to curtained windows

from Odes of Tang Wei,





from Odes of Chen

.

the sound of a window opening

You hear 
The sound of a window opening
In the distance is the sea

The glistening boat
Lies in the dunes
In the distance        is the deep blue sea
Listen
That whisper you hear      is sound of the sea
         The boat lies in the dunes
In the distance stretches the deep blue sea



打開窗子的聲音

打開窗子的聲音
你聽見了
遠處是海
光滑的船
伏在沙丘上
遠處是        藍藍的海
你聽
最小的聲音        是海
       船伏在沙丘上
遠處是藍藍的一片
