烧饼烧着了 我停在火上
白云蒸腾 夏天已经过去一半
我停在火里 看蚂蚁散步
一个女人 来自西方
看着我发呆 她不爱任何人
我停在火烧完的地方
像一块静止的抹布
我吃掉了整个厨房
包括火 这让我难受

August 19th
The sesame cakes are burning I pause on top of the fire
white clouds steam up half the summer has already passed
I pause in the fire watching the ants stroll by
A woman from the West
stares at me she loves no one
I pause where the fire has burnt out
like a motionless rag
I eat the entire kitchen
including the fire it makes me uneasy
