                        RESURRECTION

 

                                           Translated by the author

 

 

                                               

                                    imagine one day

 

                                    absolutely deaf

                                    absolutely blind

 

                                    the ears could hear nothing

                                    the eyes could see nothing

 

                                    thus, in silence and dark

 

                                    a lightning

                                    a thunder

 

                                    all would begin

                                    big-bang

 

                                    so ordinary is the deception

                                                 that it is not any deception

 

                                    see nothing

 

                                    hear nothing

 

                                    believe nothing

 

                                    and live as  a stone

 

                                    worn out and smooth

                                    by those bottoms sitting on

 

                                    thus, in silence and dark

 

                                    a lightning

                                    a thunder       

 

                                    all would begin

                                    big-bang

                                  

                                    all would be nothing

                                    from ashes

 

                                    upon a past

                                    that couldn’t help being buried 

 

                                    our hearts would be washed

                                    our love would be budding

 

                                    resurrection

                                    would begin from spirits

 

                                    big-bang                                            

                                    from us

 

                                    being the black hole

                                    quiet
