Frozen Fish
Poor little buggers, lying among the ice crystals with blank stares, awaiting the next meal. The next meal for people, that is.
Finding ourselves at the top of the food chain is a blessing we don't consider everyday. The helplessness of our prey, the cold end they meet are also thoughts that probably don't cross their minds.
This poem takes another look at the plight of delicious fish on our plates.
English
Frozen fish
Freeze me
Silent farewell song
Black holes of eyes wide open
An eternal posture
Can not bear to look back
There's no longer a story to tell
Why explore
Instant end to life
Who has the right to choose
Facing the sky or the earth
The same still pose
Not afraid of the cold
Holding each other this way for a moment
From this point on no more wear and tear
Performance of a sacrificial ceremony
Meet in heaven on a plate
No prayer no regrets no dreams must endure
Because we are just fish
Simplified Chinese
冷冻鱼
冰冻我
无声的诀别高歌
黑洞两眼圆睁
一个永恒的姿势
不忍回头看透
你不愿说的故事
何必探究
刹那完结的身世
谁有权选择
仰天或俯地
都一样停格
不怕太冷
就这样互拥片刻
从此分道不再厮磨
公演一套牺牲仪式
相会天国餐盘上
无祷无悔无梦无奈
因为我们只是鱼
