“Be still, no more harsh words.

There’s not much left for me.

Don’t cry over me.

There’s no longer any fire to put out.

I no longer have a sense of what I am

and what I’m not.

I look around. Is that me?

Or that?

I’m becoming more and more invisible.

I’ve given away all I ever had.

But I’m not going to die.

What remains: a door.

I don’t die, I just disappear.

Maybe, I’ll reawaken.

Then I will return to look for you.”

你若称他为天使,

就请祝福,而非赞美他的翅膀。

双翼之下是时间,

水色眼眸中是生命。

你若发现他衰老的痕迹,

就请微笑,而非哀悼他的金发。

潮汐带走的是悲伤,

波光闪烁的是他的乐章。
