Tapestry of life

Tapestry of life

A snail was snatched by a swallow

Meanwhile I was stung by a mosquito

That was quite accidental and natural

But when the bird swallowed the insect

I may in the dark met them all

 

My blood may with the snails body mix

And make its way into the birds shell gland

Which the bone and wings of a newborn fix

That may fly thousands of miles over land

And the egg shell? May be taken by another snail

Or down the deep by corals, crabs, or by a whale

生命的织锦

一直蜗牛被飞燕衔走

一只蚊子叮了我一口

这都是最常有的偶然

但是当燕子又吞吃了蚊子

我将在黑暗中和它们相遇

我的血将和蜗牛相混

一同进入燕子的壳腺

形成雏燕的骨骼翅膀

它们又将飞往千里之外的南方

破壳呢?也许做了另一只蜗牛

或者成为蟹螯,深海鲸的食粮
