Only Once
Yet death comes only once, too
Too precious to waste in deathbed rue
Greatest grief is beauty and youth fail
To evade the ravage of age and ail
If death comes once for all
Why not dance out of the hall
Like a moth to light give its last kiss
Hence go to flame in a sudden bliss
Those air-bound spirits when crashes happen
Will surely take a lift to heaven
When asked, “would you take another chance?”
“no subjunctive mode for the last dance.”
Only once to live, and to die out of breath
Mortals can survive neither life or death
一次性死亡
好像每年总有些日子
人们要为死去的亲人烧纸钱
烧纸人纸马,过冬的寒衣
供奉几样吃的喝的祭品
好像阴间和阳间的生活一样
少不了衣食住行的羁縻
既如此,等于白死一回
甚至没给活着的人减轻负担
既然人生只能死一次
应该死得和活着大不一样
可以飞, 不惧道路崎岖
可以不衣不食,可以永在
可以不再转世回生
这大概才是死的意义所在
