HOME WITHIN EACH IMAGINATION
He sleeps
with his heart open
letting the ocean waves
rock his little boat
back n'forth n'back
like falling
asleep in lover's bosom
. . .
How big the heart can be!
What a roar the blood makes!
As the day recedes
the shadow of Self
stretches long
like any memory
left on earth
sprouting backward
deeper and deeper
into a blue heart
. . .
The story of Love
is a white dove
fighting the harsh wind
over the oceanic chaos
flying towards a sound
softly calling
its name in Mandarin, English
Farsi, Hebrew
. . .
Or the language of dream
with its liquid textuality
tangible & transparent
bringing the one afar
closer and closer
. . . the words
float, bleed
dancing . . .
Someone sleeps
with his ears open
listening to the ocean's pulse

i see....
i am wondering if the four-character phrase sounds too archaic....'cause the rest of the poem is in plain speech, so to speak....

translation needs different approaches....sometime you have to add words, other times you can replace or create new words in order to "match" the other version....
i know that image, but hard to put it into chinese ;)
