文/莫笑愚 by Mo xiaoyu
一条鱼死了
一条鱼死了
在祭坛上
一群鱼游来
在砧板和刀中间
永恒的钟声
如重金属乐队的
合唱，在王的水面
只停留了半秒
(2012.07.01于北京)
克里奥佩特拉的蛇
像打开一枚风信子开花的细胞
你打开一粒种子的秘密
像切开头颅和躯体
你切割一条基因
一块秋天的麦田里
你收获了克里奥佩特拉的蛇毒
（2012.07.04于北京）
A fish died
by Mo Xiaoyu
A fish died
on the altar
A school of fish rushed in
Between knife and chopping board
The eternal bell rang
as the chorus of a heavy
metal band, only stayed for half a second
on the surface of Buddha’s water

Cleopatra's serpent
by Mo Xiaoyu
like decoding a hyacinth flowering cell
you unlock the secret of a seed
like cutting open the head and body
you cut a gene
in an autumn wheat field
You harvested Cleopatra's venom
(Written on July 4, 2012 in Beijing)
