[Poem] the Leaper (Hai Zi)

the Jumper by Fabrizio Cassetta

The Leaper

The old tree nose of an Oak 

Caught my shoes of blue 

leaping yet am I still

Over the elm fruits

The geese and the wheats

In a year I leaped over

Twelve empty rooms and some spikes 

From a breath of air 

To another breath of air 

I’m the profundity of life 

I’ve walked many roads

Socks full of mistakes 

Ruby is the dairy notebook

A scarlet wanderer

The names forgotten written on his neck, leap

till I’m sick of leaping stand still

silently standing atop the hill 

silence is a cave 

silence is a barrel of gold in the cave 

silence is for love

跳跃者

老鼻子橡树 夹住了我的蓝鞋子 我却是跳跃的 跳过榆钱儿 跳过鹅和麦子 一年跳过 十二间空屋子和一些花穗 从一口空气 跳进另一口空气 我是深刻的生命 我走过许多条路 我的袜子里装满了错误 日记本是红色的 是红色的流浪汉 脖子上写满了遗忘的姓名，跳吧 跳够了我就站住 站在山顶上沉默 沉默是山洞 沉默是山洞里一大桶黄金 沉默是因为爱情
