Poem: baiya(China), "The last person to leave turns off the light" (2020)

lyrics

The last person to leave turns off the light
Baiya

The pigeon finds it too late understanding the air from one building to another.
In a moment of apprehensiveness, she unloads her capability of flight.
Staring at the word of isolation quietly,
Being isolated by a layer of glass disassembling the noema, distance represents the sky of nature.
Looking down, no humanity, the pigeon does not need to understand it.
But she understands, that it is unlike humanity.
Counting all day long, and as moodiness.
This is roughly the twilight of the world, while in the afterglow,
there is no world, but is the image of the world.
Endless amount of information stabs through the flesh of measurement,
but cannot spy on the depth of the evil permanently, while the reality
is a word of excessive ambiguity, not in which people are, but
the voice sealed in words, is likely to pass the falling tidal flat.
A word picked up randomly, can even hear
the panic at the boarder.

There are screens installed both indoors and outdoors.
With splendid attire of festivals, the hell is weaving voice and countenance of regime
in human languages, while lies even are hastening parturition
of vegetation that does not exit this spring.
Humiliation and despair are likely to be rinsed over and over again,
but they will be converted into raindrops with high probability, and strike in eyes,
while they are not tears, like this hoarse throat,
but not limbs of actions.

The transition does not allow for eye closure.
No better than being a literary corpse, opening eyes widely, the bright is
nothing but darkness, and the darkness
nothing but stupid and stupid means.
The chorus is about to start.
The theater is preparing hands of encouragement, and some words
are commandeered, while some are confined.
As the logic enveloping the world:
The last person to leave turns off the light.

鸽子过于晚地理解了从这栋楼到那栋楼的空气
在领悟的时刻,她卸下飞行的本事
安静地凝视隔离这个词
隔着一层拆解心智的玻璃,远方是自然的天空
往下看,是非人,鸽子不必要理解人
但她理解,不像人
镇日计数,镇日地喜怒
这大致是世界的黄昏,然而余晖中
并没有世界,有的,只是世界的形象
无尽的信息穿刺过测量的肉身
却永远无法打探到邪恶的深度,真实
是一个过于模棱两可的词,人不在其中,只有
封印在语词中的声音,像是走过一片落潮的滩涂
随手拾起一个词,都可以听到
界线处的恐慌

室内和室外都安排了屏幕
地狱穿着节日的盛装,用人的语言编织
制度的声色,谎言甚至催生了
这个春天并不存在的植被
屈辱和绝望可能会被一遍遍漂洗
但大概率会被转化为雨滴,打在眼睛里
却不是泪水,正如此刻嘶哑的喉咙
不是行动的肢体

这流转不会给予闭眼的余地
不如像一具真正的尸体,睁大眼睛,这光鲜
无非是黑暗,而黑暗
无非是愚蠢和愚蠢的手段
合唱就要开始了
剧场方面准备了鼓舞的手,一些词语
被征用,一些被禁闭
一如这包覆世界的逻辑:
最后走的人关灯
