Be Your Own Moses
Poem by Anna Keiko


You are my Christ—  
so near,  
just a skin’s breadth away,  
yet I’ve never seen your face.  
Sometimes I feel you beside me,  
sometimes far, far as the air,  
yet one thing never changes:  
you keep faith with the Ten Commandments.  

Be your own Moses.  
That road stretches boundless—ah,  
but it’s paved with blades and scorching stones,  
your feet blistering, your body gaunt,  
pressing on through storm and wind  
toward the holy land of the soul.  

When night falls, look around you:  
three feet underground, palaces rise.  
All arrivals at the sacred day  
will return to zero.  
And so you choose the purest path,  
the most beautiful road  
this world can offer—  
though it has no end.  

做自己的摩西
诗/Anna 惠子

你是我的基督
那样近
一层皮的遮挡
但我从未见过你模样
有时感受你在身边
有时很远,远到像空气
但唯一不变的是
你信奉并坚守十诫
做自己的摩西
那是一条无限的坦途,啊
它已经铺满刀尖滚石
发烫的双脚,贫瘠的身躯
为寻找心灵圣地,风雨前行
当黑夜扑来你看看四周吧
地下三尺全是宫殿
一切到达圣日,都将归零
于是你选择一条在当下
在人世间最纯最美的道路
尽管没有尽头
