蜥蜴的庆典

Celebration of the
Lizard
Lions in the
street & roaming
Dogs in heat,
rabid, foaming
A beast caged
in the heart of a
city
The body of his
mother
Rotting in the
summer ground.
He fled the
town.
He went down
South
And crossed the border
Left the chaos
& disorder
Back there
Over his
shoulder.
One morning he
awoke in a green
hotel
W/a strange creature
groaning beside him.
Sweat oozed from
its shiny skin.
Is everybody in?
(3)
The ceremony is
about to begin.
Wake up!
You can't remember
where it was.
Had this dream
stopped?
The snake was
pale gold glazed &
shrunken.
We were afraid
to touch it.
The sheets were
hot dead prisons.
And she was
beside me, old,
She's, no;
young.
Her dark red
hair.
The white soft
skin.
Now, run to the
mirror in the bathroom,
Look!
She's coming in
here.
I can't live
thru each slow century
of her moving.
I let my cheek
slide down
The cool smooth
tile
Feel the good
cold stinging blood.
The smooth hissing
snakes
of rain...
Once I had, a
little game
I liked to
crawl, back into my
brain
I think you
know, the game I
mean
I mean the
game, called 'go insane'
Now you should
try, this little game
just close your
eyes, forget your name
forget the world,
forget the people
and we'll erect,
a different steeple.
This little game,
is fun to do.
Just close your
eyes, no way to
lose
And I'm right
there, I'm going too
Release control, we're
breaking Thru
Burrow back into
the brain
Way back past
the realm of pain
Back where there's
never any rain
And the rain
falls gently on the
town.
And over the
heads of all of us
And in the
labyrinth of streams
Beneath, the quiet
unearthly presence of
Nervous hill dwellers
in the gentle hills
around,
Reptiles
abounding
Fossils, caves, cool
air heights.
(Each house repeats
a mold,
Windows rolled, beast car
locked in against morning.
All now sleeping,
rugs silent,
Mirrors vacant, dust blind
under the beds
Of lawful couples
wound
in
sheets & daughters,
smug
w/semen, eyes
in their
nipples.)
Wait!
There's been a
slaughter here.
(siren)
(Don't stop
to speak or look
around
Your gloves
& fan are on the
ground
We're getting
out of town
We're going
on the run
And you're
the one I want to
come)
Not to touch
the earth
Not to see the
sun
Nothing left to
do,
But run, run,
run
Let's run
House upon the
hill
Moon is lying
still
Shadows of the
trees
Witness going the
wild breeze
C'mon baby
Run w/me
Let's run
The mansion is
warm at the top of the
hill
Rich are the
rooms & the comforts
there
Red are the
arms of luxuriant chairs
& you won't
know a thing till you get
inside.
Dead president's
corpse in the driver's
car
The engine runs
on glue and tar
C'mon along, we're
not going very far
To the East to
meet the Czar,
Some outlaws lived
by the side of a
lake
The minister's
daughter's in love w/the
snake
Who lives in a
well by the side of the
road
Wake up, girl,
we're almost home,
Sun Sun
Sun
Burn Bum
Burn
Soon Soon
Soon
Moon-Moon-Moon
I will get
you
Soon
Soon
Soon!
(Scream)
Let the carnival
bells ring
Let the serpent
sing
Let everything
(Bells)
Fade
Desert
Night
Voices of the Fire
'We came down
the rivers & highways
We came down
from forests & falls
We came down
from Carson &
Springfield
We came down
from Phoenix enthralled
And I can tell
you the names of the
Kingdom
I can tell you
the things that you
know
Listening for a
fistful of silence
Climbing valleys into
the shade'
Sounds of the Fire
(whistles, rattlesnakes,
castanets)
'I am the
Lizard King
I can do
anything
I can make the
earth stop in its
tracks
I made the blue
cars go away.
For seven years
I dwelt
in the loose
palace of exile,
Playing strange
games
w/the girls of
the island.
Now I have come
again
To the land of
the fair, & the strong,
& the wise.
Brothers & sisters
of the pale forest
0 Children of
Night
Who among you
will run w/the hunt?
--Cries of
assent--
Now Night arrives
with her purple legion.
Retire now to
your tents & to your
dreams.
Tomorrow we enter
the town of my
birth.
I want to be
ready.'

【美】大门

狮子在街上游荡
狗发情发狂，吐出泡沫
一只兽困在城市中心
母亲的身体
在夏天的土地上溃烂着。
他逃离城市。
跑向南方
跑过了边境
把骚动和混乱
抛在身后。
一天早晨，他在一座绿色旅馆醒来
一个陌生动物在身旁呻吟。
汗水从它闪亮的皮肤渗出。
里面有人吗？
里面有人吗？
里面有人吗？
典礼就要开始了。
醒来吧！
你不记得这是哪里。
这梦结束了吗？
那蛇苍白金黄光滑，蜷缩一团。
我们不敢去碰它。
床单是热的死的监狱。
她靠在我旁边，苍老，
她，不，年轻。
深红色的头发。
雪白的柔软的肌肤。
现在，跑向浴室的镜子，
看！
她正走进来。
我不可能活着看她所有动作
每个动作都有一世纪那么长久。
顺着冰冷光滑的瓷瓦
我让我的颊下滑
感觉那美好的、冰凉的、刺痛的血液。
感觉那雨
光滑的嘶嘶叫的蛇……
从前我曾有，一个小小的游戏
我喜欢爬行，爬进我的大脑
我想你知道，我说的是什么游戏
我说的就是它：“进入疯狂”
来，现在你试一试，这小小的游戏
只需闭上眼，忘掉你的姓名
忘掉世界，忘掉人群
然后我们将建起，一座不同的教堂
这小小的游戏，非常的好玩
只需闭上眼，怎么都不会输
并且我会在那，我也会参与
放弃控制，让我们跨越
从暗道回到大脑
向回走，越过痛苦的国度
回到一个地方，那儿从不下雨
而雨轻轻地落在城市上
落在我们每个人的头上
落在河流的迷宫里
下面，寂静的超凡的世界
山丘里住着担惊受怕的居民
爬行动物大量生长
化石，洞穴，空气清凉的高地。
（每个房子都一模一样
窗子摇好 动物车锁着
衬托着早晨
一切都在沉睡 毛毯寂静
镜子空空 灰尘
隐藏在床下
床单缠裹的
一对对合法夫妻
女儿们
因精液而心满意足，乳头上
眨着眼睛）
且慢！
这里曾有一场屠杀。
（警报声）
（别停下说话或者环顾其他
你的手套和扇子落在地下
我们正在走出城市
我们正在出逃
而你是我想要变成的人）
不要碰地球
不要看太阳
什么都不要做
只是跑，跑，跑
快跑
房子在山上
月亮静静平躺
树的影子
目击疯狂的风
快点孩子快点
跟着我快跑
快跑
大宅是温暖的在那山上
房间充足舒适的感觉充足在那山上
华丽的椅子扶手红红
没到那之前你绝对不会知道。
死去总统的尸体在司机的车上
引擎里燃的是胶水和焦油
