20250628 Portarlington


 Portarlington, Victoria

Shell on your palm


There is this uncertainty that comes but once, 

not in storm, but in a stun - 

Ten hours folded into the speed of light,

A winter’s day that felt just right.


We shared our food, out thoughts, our gaze,

In quiet moments, under the sky’s luminous blaze.

Our fingers spoke what lips forgot, 

held in a warmth that the world had not.


By PS Ozone’s rusted frame,

We drew a map - no need for names,

On shifting sand, with routes not shown,

We traced a path to call our own.



The seagulls watched, cone shells lay thin,

We studied each - names unknown - small worlds within.

And I, among them on your palm.

Was I the shell you’d call your own?

Or just one more beneath your tread - 

a passing thought that will be left unsaid?


这份不确定性只出现一次,
并非在暴风雨中,而是在一阵震惊中——
十个小时,如同光速般飞逝,
一个令人感觉恰到好处的冬日。
在静谧的时刻,在璀璨的天空下, 我们分享食物,分享思绪,相对凝视。
我们的手指诉说着嘴唇遗忘的话语,
蕴藏着世间从未有过的温暖。
在PS Ozone锈蚀的框架旁,
我们绘制了一张地图——无需名称,
在流沙上,也没有路线,
我们绘出一条属于自己的前路。
海鸥旁观着,名字不详的锥壳薄薄地铺在你的掌上,
我们仔细观看着每一只——里面都有着小小的世界。
而我——
我是那属于你的贝壳吗?
还是你脚下践踏的另一个——
只是个转瞬即逝、无法言说的念头?
