Circle

A formation of people in a circular square.
I am one of them.
Trapped by this circle, unable to get out.
Like the others, I was born blind.
A layer of grey mist covers my eyes.
Birds in the forest, in the thick fog, are terrified by this corpse-covered circle,
Screaming again and again.
People have died at different spots in the circular square.
They were all worn to death.
But I am full of hope.
I can feel the magnificent scene of blooming flowers in the distance.
People all believe
That the circle represents cycle.
But I feel that this circle
Can carry me and fly,
Fly into the spring scenery not far away.


圆形方阵里的队伍,
我是队伍的一员,
被这圆困得出不去,
我和其他人一样天生的是眼盲,
眼珠被蒙上一层灰雾,
林中鸟儿在大雾里被这覆盖尸体的圆吓得连连惊叫,
有人死在圆形方阵的不同地点,
他们都是被熬死的,

而我充满了希望,
我能感受到远方来自鲜花盛开的盛景,
人们都以为,
圆代表了循环。
而我觉得这个圆,
可以载着我飞,
飞到不远处的春天的景象里。
