Yao Feng # 16--The night has tolerated my dreams

night has put up with me dreaming again

off comes the mask

and night has to deal

with my nudity

with my animal sex

night tolerates my dream travels

my flights, my free talk

night, in your arms

(and in my swaddling)

I sleep like a baby

a mouthful of clear water

good stuff!

waking, and it's the same every time

bed sour with rotten luck

 

(translated by Kit Kelen  [客遠文])

黑夜容忍了我的梦

黑夜容忍我摘下面具
容忍了我的赤裸
容忍了我动物般的性爱
容忍了我的梦——任意的旅行或飞翔
容忍了我自由的呓语
黑夜让我像婴儿一样睡着了
在襁褓里，在你的怀抱里
嘴角流淌着透明的口水
这样多好啊！不用醒来多好啊
每次醒来，我都发现
自己躺在悲观主义的病床上
