木心《如歌的木屑》

我是

锯子

上行

你是锯子

下行

合把那树锯断

两边都可

见年轮

一堆清香的屑

锯断了才知

爱情是棵树

树已很大了

SAWDUST LIKE A SONG  BY MUXIN

I am

a saw

up going 

You are a saw

going down

Together we have sawn the tree through

The growth ring and

a pile of fragrant sawdust

can be seen at both sides

It is realized only after cutting it down

that the love is a tree

which has grown up
