我为将新欢视为初恋向旧爱致歉
我为自己不能无所不在向万物致歉。
——题记
01 原谅我，虽然你已成为标本
在一颗小星星下
我为称之为必然向巧合致歉
倘若有任何误谬之处，我向必然致歉
但愿快乐不会因我视其为己有而生气
但愿死者耐心包容我逐渐衰退的记忆
我为自己分分秒秒疏漏万物向时间致歉
我为将新欢视为初恋向旧爱致歉
远方的战争啊，原谅我带花回家
裂开的伤口啊，原谅我扎到手指
我为我的小步舞曲唱片向在深渊吶喊的人致歉
我为清晨五点仍熟睡向在火车站候车的人致歉
被追猎的希望啊，原谅我不时大笑
沙漠啊，原谅我未及时送上一匙水
而你，这些年来未曾改变，始终在同一笼中
目不转睛盯望着空中同一定点的猎鹰啊
原谅我，虽然你已成为标本
我为桌子的四只脚向被砍下的树木致歉
我为简短的回答向庞大的问题致歉
真理啊，不要太留意我
尊严啊，请对我宽大为怀
存在的奥秘啊，请包容我扯落了你衣裾的缝线
灵魂啊，别谴责我偶尔才保有你
我为自己不能无所不在向万物致歉
我为自己无法成为每个男人和女人
向所有的人致歉
我知道在有生之年我无法
找到任何理由替自己辩解
因为我自己即是我自己的阻碍
噢，言语，别怪我借用了沉重的字眼
又劳心费神地使它们看似轻松
—— 辛波丝卡《在一颗小星星下》

02 渺小， 才是成为伟大的前提
在一颗小星星底下，我们都是渺小的存在。可是渺小才成为伟大的前提，越是认识自己的渺小，越能感悟世间的伟大。即使是再小的星星，也终有天会因巧合被大地上的人发现，以其微弱之光温暖另一双眼。星星如此之多，只是缺乏懂得发现、懂得欣赏的眸罢了。
《在一颗小星星下》选自诗集《万物静默如谜》 ，是女诗人对于世界的独白。她，以冷静、清醒的笔触，把幽默与柔情结合起来，被认为具有“反讽的精确性”和原生力量。
与自然的无限相比，人很容易产生敬畏的心理。而对于这个时代而言，有点敬畏显得更有意义了。科学的发展带来一群“无畏”的人，他们不仅使自然受伤，更是使他们成为剥离精神的“实体”。一次次地致歉，源于对生命的尊重，对万物的崇敬，对心灵的坦白。
03 认识自己渺小的每一步，都是向伟大的迫近
Under One Small Star
My apologies to chance
for calling it necessity
My apologies to necessity
if I'm mistaken, after all
Please, don't be angry, happiness
that I take you as my due
May my dead be patient
with the way my memories fade
My apologies to time for all the world
I overlook each second
My apologies to past loves for thinking that the latest is the first
Forgive me, distant wars
for bringing flowers home
Forgive me, open wounds
for pricking my finger
I apologize for my record of minuets
to those who cry from the depths
I apologize to those who wait
in railway stations for
being asleep today at five a.m.
Pardon me, hounded hope
for laughing from time to time
Pardon me, deserts, that I don't rush to you bearing a spoonful of water
And you, falcon, unchanging year after year, always in the same cage
your gaze always fixed on
the same point in space
forgive me, even if it turns out
you were stuffed
My apologies to the felled tree for the table's four legs
My apologies to great questions for small answers
Truth, please don't pay me much attention
Dignity, please be magnanimous.
Bear with me, O mystery of existence, as I pluck the occasional thread from your train
Soul, don't take offense that I've only got you now and then
My apologies to everything that I
can't be everywhere at once
My apologies to everyone that I
can't be each woman and each man
I know I won't be justified
as long as I live
since I myself stand in my own way
Don't bear me ill will, speech
that I borrow weighty words
then labor heavily so that they
may seem light
