HOT 閃亮星─肆夕耽美稿件大募集

那樣子的人 (That Way)

她誕生自一封沒有退件地址的信,

沒貼郵票,沒寫日期,也沒附有說明書。

她是數條神經聚集、交集⸺卻尚未擁有意識⸺

她吃驚地想了,此時、此刻。

彷彿在樓梯間遺失的梯級上蹣跚、跌撞,

墜落至一張用髮絲與骨骸編織而成的蛛網。

僅深吸一口氣,而她的手心卻已

成了劃痕累累的皮肉和荊棘般刺痛的血漿。

她,並不是、也是、可能曾經能夠是⸺

這麼拼湊而成的:肩膀接上胳膊、雙手繫著

指尖、眼裡點綴著瞳孔、鼻子被鑽了兩個坑⸺

痛楚被嫁接於她的肌膚。

最後她終於哭泣,瞠大雙眸譴責地瞪視

世間,蒸發了她的無知、無辜:

從字典中找尋著她下個該探索的地址⸺

已不置身於信封之內而被束縛。

She   was   born   in   an   envelope   with   no   return   address;  

No   stamps,   no   date,   sent   without   instruction.  

She   was   a   congregation   of   nerves—yet   without   sentience—  

She   thought,   to   her   surprise,   the   moment.  

It   was   like   tripping   through   the   missing   steps   on   a   staircase,  

Falling   into   a   woven   net   of   hair   and   bones.  

Merely   a   breath   taken   before   her   palms  

Became   shredded   skin   and   stinging   blood.  

She   wasn't,   she   was,   she   maybe   might   have   been—

Spelt   this   way:   arms   attached   to   shoulders,   fingers  

To   hands,   pupils   to   eyes,   her   nostrils   drilled   into   her   nose—  

Pain   grafted   onto   her   flesh.  

Finally   she   wailed,   eyes   widening   to   glare  

In   accusation   against   the   world,   desiccating   her   oblivion:  

Discerning   the   alphabet   of   every   language   for   the   next   address   she   ought   to   go—  

Not   in   an   envelope.
