也許
最安心的真實
是終於被一雙眼睛輕輕接住

就像是一隻魚發現自己種在水中
蟲發現自己棲息在牛背上
飛鳥被整座森林拂起
月亮枕在雲朵上
而城市的磚瓦，安放在路人匆忙的腳步中

沒有一處荒煙蔓草的道路
是白白走過的
在無數的相遇與離別中
剝落了一塊一塊的你我他
然後拼湊成，不斷遺落又新生的我

那些
彎過的、碎過的
閃耀過也沈溺過的
時光碎片
已經拼貼成了
家

「嗨！」
那個躲在裡頭
小時候的自己
正揮著手

260226 Seen
Perhaps
the safest truth
is finally being caught by a pair of gentle eyes

The way a fish discovers it was planted in water
a tick finds itself nestled on the back of an ox
a bird is brushed into flight by an entire forest
the moon rests its head on a cloud
and the bricks of a city settle into the hurried footsteps of passersby

No road overgrown with wild grass
was ever walked in vain
Through countless meetings and partings
we shed pieces of you, of me, of them
then patch together a self that is always losing and becoming

All those
bent and broken
shimmering and drowning
fragments of time
have already been pieced into
home

"Hey!"
The child inside
the one from long ago
is waving
