Cordova 科爾多瓦

Time
marks each stone
saying ‘I am still here’,
even when you become ash
I will still be here

Counting the seasons
with each passing breath
each turn of night and day
I am still here
scarring
eroding
disassembling

until everything tastes like dust
becomes dust
and night no longer unveils itself
to become day

光陰的故事
寫在每塊石頭上
提醒路人:
「你看,我還在」

它說:
「當你化為灰燼時,我還在。」

四季不斷交替,
曰夜不息運轉,
一呼一吸間,
它說:「我仍然在」
不斷摧殘一切,
瓦解一切,
遍留瘡痕累累,
直到萬物
味同灰土,
化為灰土,
直到黑夜不再翻身變成白晝
