Eiffel Tower

Eiffel Tower

thinking they were building again
another guillotine
merciful God swooped down
trying to pull it apart

yet its steel-reinforced base
stubborn as human sins
kept it firmly on the ground
and it was turned into a lance
pointing at the heart
of the sky

at night we can hear
grotesque dreams rise and pop
at its very tip
like balloons

埃菲尔铁塔

尘世的欲望
越堆越高
终于连宽大为怀的上帝
都忍不住俯下身来
一手把它拔掉

没想到
钢筋水泥的基脚
竟如人类的罪孽
根深柢固
稍一用力
便拉成一把尖矛
直直刺向
天空的
心脏

夜夜
我们听到
光怪陆离的梦
自失眠的巴黎冉冉升空
如饱胀的气球
在它上面噗噗
爆响
