Die Young
by M.R.

At that time,
Sounds of nature were wafted to the back yard,
You held her hands and said: “My Circe！”
I stood at the highest mountain top in the north——
a Buddhist bowl in hand,
for teardrops of plumflowers.

Although I know all the images in water
are imprecations which
Artemis uttered in anger,
I’ m infatuated with them
and kowtow on knees in an idle dream.

Evil ,hide at your dirty place.
Sneer at me!
Watch how my soul is stolen!
A mummery ,it could be.

Alas, why not drink up the opium juice
to share madness with Thomas De Quincey ;
Or , go into the nether world with bloody poems,
to serve Yama and his wife.

Let me look at the images in water once again
When all are withered , dreams in vain.

CONFESSIONS OF AN ENGLISH OPIUM EATER

殇

那时，故园飘绕着天籁之音
你拉着她的手说：“我的赛姬!”
我站在北国之巅，手捧舍利瓶
接下滴滴梅花泪

虽然，
我明白水中的影像
是新西雅发怒时掷下的咒语，
幻梦里，却痴迷，
膜拜。

魔鬼，躲在属于你的阴晦中，
狰狞地笑吧！
像欣赏一出哑剧，
看我的魂灵如何被掏空。

唉，不如一饮而尽这鸦片毒液，
去享受托马斯-德-昆西的癫狂。
或者带着血淋淋的诗句走入地狱，
从此侍奉冥后和冥王。

容我再看一眼这水中的影像，
在尘世凋枯，梦幻皆碎时。

赛姬，爱神丘比特所爱的少女
新西雅，月亮之神。
