在八月的结尾
八月开始
回去，回到梦开始的地方去

朋友们在湖上
举桨，摇橹，交换婚戒
你站在舷边微笑
美丽的天气催生着
永恒的幻觉

窗前还是高速公路和遽变的暮色
窗后还是绿底白花的草地
和明暗相间的二十四家灯火
八月和八月之间
隔了五年

相识的都成了朋友
人和人的历史
在口口相传里衍生又湮没

你不曾到这陌生的异国小镇
却与她合谋
在我的心上
锯出齿状的伤痕

且炒中国的花生米来
且开德国的啤酒来
且让淅沥夜雨来

添些气氛
而我　竟不能醉

Dreams

For many a year I thought I had no dreams
Couldn't have dreams any more
Then they suddenly came back
As odd, magical and beautiful as before

Like I was watching grandpa's wrinkled face
Though he died in the summer of 1996 in China
Like I saw my friend driving, barefoot
A stranger and I had to squeeze into the backseat
That was only for one person and a half

Like I met you in another sleeping experience
Which made me feel guilty
About why I didn't dream of you in those days
When I still could talk to you, thought that I had you

But in this dream you looked almost ugly
I even remembered your disfigured expression
When I woke up in the morning
I felt sorry, then felt like weeping
But couldn't
