由石碑传诵
为什么帝国衰亡
如大梦初醒
为什么血流成河
先于纸上谈兵
为什么画地为牢
以自由之名
难道天外有天
话中有话
电有短路的爱情
难道青春上路
一张张日历留下
倒退的足印
难道夜的马群
奔向八方
到天边畅饮黎明
难道江山变色
纸上长城
也是诗意的苍龙
谁在圣人的行列中
默默阅读我们
谁从鎏金的风铃
从带血的鞭梢
不断呼唤我们
谁用谎言的红罂粟
照亮苍茫大地
谁把门窗的对话
卖给穿堂风
谁指挥秋天的乐队
为小桥迎娶
一盏幽怨的渔灯
哪儿是家园
安放死者的摇篮
哪儿是彼岸
让诗跨向终点
哪儿是和平
让日子分配蓝天
哪儿是历史
为说书人备案
哪儿是革命
用风暴弹奏地平线
哪儿是真理
在词语寻找火山
何时乘东风而来
从沏好的新茶
品味春天的忧伤
何时一声口哨
为午夜开锁
满天星星在咳嗽
何时放飞一只鸽子
把最大的广场
缩小成无字印章
何时从关闭的宫门
从岁月裂缝
涌进洪水的光芒
Prologue
Why does history travel backwards
From the presentto the ancient
Why do all things spin away
From the course oftime
Why are the oldest messages
Transmitted and chanted by tablets of stone
Why do empires wither and die
As though waking from the dream of grandeur
Why did rivers of blood
Come before the strategic plans
Why did people draw a prison circle in the sand
In the name of freedom
Is there a sky beyond the sky
A speech beyond speech
An electricity with short-circuited love
Is youth setting off
Leaving pages ofthe calendar behind
As backward footprints
Is a team of horses
Running in all directions through the night
Drinking down the dawn at the rim of the sky
Are the rivers and mountains changing color
And the Great Wallon paper
Is the black dragon of poetry
Who in the procession of the sages
Silently reads us
Who between the gilded wind-chimes
And the bloody end of a whip
Endlessly calls tous
Who uses the lies of red poppies
To light the black and boundless earth
Who takes the dialogue of door and window
And sells it to the draft blowing through the hall
Who conducts the orchestra of autumn
And celebrates the marriage of a small bridge
And a sad fish lantern
Where is the homeland
That lays a cradlefor the dead
Where is the others hore
Where poetry gallops to the finish line
Where is the peace
That lets the days share out the blue sky
Where is the history
For the storytellers to record
Where is the revolution
Playing storms on the horizon
Where is truth
Finding a volcano among the words
When will we come from the east wind
And taste theme lancholy of spring
In steeped new tea
When will thesound of a whistle
Unlock formidnight
A sky full ofcoughing stars
When will a dovebe set free
And shrink thebiggest square
Into a sealwithout characters
When from theclosed palace gates
Will the radianceof the flood
Gush through thecracks of time
