Cui Yuwei 25# monologue

monologue

Written and self-translated into Chinese by Cui Yuwei

lying down at night

back against yours

I think of the clouds in the day

sundry trees on the sides of the road

the motorcycle taxi driver

who undercharged me

our bed

hears every secret

they’re thicker

than the mattress now

I sniff out

the stale scent

of your back 

《獨白》

每晚我們
背對背躺下
我想起白天鬆散的雲
低空下的各式樹木
還有那個
少收我錢的
摩的司機


我們的床
一聲不吭地收下
我的每個秘密
那你的呢？

現在它們
比床墊厚
而且
發霉了
