| Monte Fort | Travesa Sancho Pança | San Ma Lo | in front of red market |
| Hac Sa: Yin yang musing | Taipa: Aubade | September (instructions) |

Christopher Kelen
the paved hill lies in its fallen flowers there is a temple half way up where they’ve painted the moss red higher the dragonflies guard air with infinite labours
from the acropolis the city is endless nor is it Macao every country’s out there under the big top and every year the sun defeats
cicadas sharp in the Zhuhai haze where first the breeze is apprehended
spent breath of the tourists is mocked by those cats who sleep with the canons up here

客遠文 大炮台
山路在落花之中蜿蜒 一座廟宇座落於半山之上 青苔被染成緋紅 更高處飛舞的蜻蜓守護著空氣 牠們的勞動沒有止境
從高遠的山丘上看去 小城無邊無涯 那不僅僅是澳門 那是所有的國家 在寬濶的山頂 每年太陽屢戰屢勝
蟬兒在珠海的霧靄裏鳴唱 那裡是第一個感受到微風拂過的地方
貓兒懶洋洋，和大炮相依而睡 它們把氣喘噓噓的遊客們嘲弄

small boy expecting dog to follow scooters rise piano beyond to take up the distance how long in this village may I remain anonymous?
the market will cleanse me of every desire

客遠文 老饕巷
小男孩期待狗兒跟隨 電單車奔馳 遠處的琴聲佔據了距離 在這個村中 我隱姓埋名，可以逗留多久？
街市將洗滌我所有的慾望

iniquitous lobbies darkest street of the day
the face of the jeweller about to be robbed
the brave man with gun or with girl
imagine the croupier rope bucket above us specie of all nations in there
today the rhythm of beggar’s cups like horses’ hooves
jackhammer behind me
|
客遠文 新馬路
邪惡的大堂 如今最陰暗的街道
珠寶商的那張臉 快要被搶劫了
彪形大漢拿著槍 或者美女相伴
想像那賭場的主管 把桶吊在我們頭上 裡面裝著各國的硬幣
今天 乞丐敲打杯子的節拍 如同馬蹄一般
地鑽在我身後轟鳴

loving the smoke and fuss of the town in a lucky red shirt on national day
I study the city like watching dough rise brick by brick
red postbox reminds me of the letter for which I have no stamp
red box on the bus for the quanta exacta I lack
red flag in its stars which no one can read
the red is for blood all plan not to spill
it’s a red letter day today

客遠文 在紅街市前
喜愛城鎮的煙和混亂 在國慶節中 穿上幸運的紅襯衫
我研究這個城市 就像粉團一樣 一磚一瓦地平地而起
紅郵筒令我想起 我那沒有郵票的信
我沒有留意巴士投幣處的提醒：不設找贖
紅旗上的星星沒人能看懂
紅色是血的顏色 它全都計劃不濺出
今天是一個紅彤彤的日子

eyes shut and under the birds lie the rocks only water can tell
it’s out of their irresistible stubbornness each lends the other a form

客遠文 黑沙海灘：陰陽的沉思
閉上眼睛 小鳥飛過的地方 石頭酣睡 只有水才知道 正因為石頭 無法抗拒的執著 為彼此塑造出 形態

Christopher Kelen
a candle then a bird for light
kettle up against my sun
the bright soaks us from other days as if the night were cracked mere habit of haunting eyes
so thoughtless clouds stick unintending boats crossing too in their first clothes pale water holding up the dawn
a bridge the Bank of China casts a glittering stripe to bend the silver of my river to take the wheel’s long bow
|
客遠文 氹仔：晨歌
一支蠟燭 然後一隻小鳥變成光
舉起水壼親近太陽
舊日的光芒 把我們浸透 像夜晚被砸開 冤魂習慣睜開眼睛
所以 散漫的雲不經意地糾纏在一起 船穿過它們的第一件衣服 蒼白的水波支撐著黎明
長橋 中國銀行 拋出閃光的線條 我銀色的河流彎曲 月亮拉滿了長弓

Christopher Kelen
dream fountains under dappled light oasis fruits crisp cloth on table better still clear water in glass unbreakable shade
wake bathed in the heat comes hammering still till rain nails everything down
pray for a breeze but not too hard
keep the bath first thing it takes you from dreaming reminds you to give gods thanks for the sea it stems the heaviness of noontide last cleanses you for night that you might dream fountains still water clear glass |
客遠文 九月 (導讀)
夢見噴泉 在斑駁的光影下 綠洲的果實 硬幫幫的桌布 還好，杯子裡 還有靜止的清水 打不破的蔭涼
醒來洗澡 高溫在錘打 直至雨水釘住所有東西
祈求一點微風 但別太猛烈
繼續洗澡 首先它防止你作白日夢 提醒你為大海向神感恩 減輕了中午的疲倦 洗滌你的夜晚 那樣你可以 夢見噴泉 靜止的清水 晶瑩的水杯
