圖："A Child With a Cat" by Gainsborough

可是他坐在一棵楓樹上
不知道已是秋天

總是嗚咽
以滿是紅色條紋的手背
拭淚

什麼是家？
怒吼酒瓶玻璃瘀青
空氣裡　迴盪著　他
不敢直視的魔鬼　
不願聆聽的咒語

所以他仍坐在那楓樹上
不知道已是春天


Yet he sits on a maple,
Unaware of the coming Fall.

Always weeping, he wipes his tears
By an arm engraved with red stripes.

What is home to him?
Winebottlesbrokenglassbruisesscreams.
In the air,
A fearful demon is whirling,
Chanting dreadful incantations.

So he still sits on the maple,
Unaware of the coming Spring.
