《改变》
要改变
要像翻手套一样把自己从里往外翻
要像星球般旋转
要你自己穿过自己
以便每个白天可以穿入夜晚
以便每一个单词奔向真理的另一面
以便每一个句子都来源于自己
并且发出自己的光芒
以便每一张靠在手上的脸
汗水都流入手掌的皮肤
以便这支笔
变成单纯的沉默
我曾想说变成爱
要从一匹马上摔落
要使你的脸蒙上尘土
要瞎眼
要起身
要像失明的扫罗一样
允许自己被带到
大马士革
译注: 扫罗,后来改名为保罗,基督教初期著名的使徒。扫罗在还没有信主前,到处拘捕和迫害基督徒,有一次在去大马士革的路上,天上突然出现一道强光,有声音说: 扫罗,扫罗,你要迫害我到几时呢? 扫罗从马上摔下,眼睛看不见了。此事之后,保罗开始悔改,成为新约时代最重要的使徒,新约圣经共27部书,至少有十四部被认为诗保罗写的 。

Transformation, by Anna Kamieńska
To be transformed
to turn yourself inside out like a glove
to spin like a planet
to thread yourself through yourself
so that each day penetrates each night
so that each word runs to the other side of truth
so that each verse comes out of itself
and gives off its own light
so that each face leaning on a hand
sweats into the skin of the palm
So that this pen
changes into pure silence
I wanted to say into love
To fall off a horse
to smear your face with dust
to be blinded
to lift yourself
and allow yourself to be led
like blind Saul
to Damascus
