Cliche Juice

By David Duchovny

Home is where the heart is

and my heart is out traveling.

Up into the wild blue yonder,wingless,

prayerful that this miracle of flight will not end,

just yet.

Also at home, with you, on the ground

wherever you might be at the moment,

grounded

like a highschooler, like a wire, a bird and a wire,

feet on the ground

and my heart in my throat now, Now in my feet,

lawfully descending with gravity

to the lower, lowest,

most sought after, most beautifully bound, home.

Aspirations involve reputations.

We reach for stars wondering what we are.

But my reason has been found

by finding you and looking down.

And it is thee.

not in the stars of fantasized worlds,

Fifth dimensions, sixth senses,

holy parallel potentates of potentates-

that my feet will trace their slow as history itself dance:

a walking calligraphy so subtle

that it will take 40 years and more and a view from above

with an impersonal remove and lofty attachment I hope

to barely fall at that mythical two-backed beast:

itinerant stasis;

like the one I enjoy up here in the well attended air,

to read the cursive strokes of my aggregate footsteps,

like some fairy take dissolve,

"Once upon a time" or twice

written on our little page of earth, ground.

wherever our home may be

will be

wherever we happen to be.

By David Duchovny

家是心的彼岸

我的心却在远游

升至湛蓝广阔的天际，无翼翱翔

祈祷这奇迹之旅永不结束

再给我一点时间

和你，在家，在大地

在世界任何一个角落

羁绊

像稚嫩的少年，像鸟儿与束缚的绳索

双脚着于大地

我的心提到了嗓子，又坠至脚下

在重力下不断坠落

深入那内心深处

追寻已久、充满渴望的家

追逐名利是实现抱负的一部分

我们攀及星辰，质问何为存在

然而我的存在已经明了

我寻找你的踪迹，低头发现

你就是我存在的意义

不在那异世的星辰之上

不在第五维度，不是第六感

不是神圣统治者的平行世界

我的双脚追随他们的足迹，随历史漫舞

变化如此微妙，难以察觉

需要40年光阴和一种超脱于世的视角

冷漠疏离，孤傲不羁

才不至于陷入这野兽的陷阱

流动的静止

就像现在正在空中的我

细数自己一生留在世上的痕迹

仿佛童话重现

“很久很久以前”又或是两辈子的留恋

蚀刻在我们在尘世短短的一页

无论家在何方

未来在何方

我们身在何方
