Reverse

顛覆

吳星瑩

.

我一直知道,但一直裝作不知道,心中最深的地方,藏著重重落鎖的門。

~《內在森林》金魚藻植物誌~

當我終於轉身,看見所有背對著我不肯開啟的世界,在那一刻也豁然轉身,面向了我。

在世界顛倒我以前,我顛倒自己的世界。

拆掉所有疊床架屋,從裡到外,讓光照進來。

我一直固定自己的方向,於是我分出上下前後左右,於是我可以一直是中心。

於是我永遠繞著自己打轉,於是我永遠看不到別的視角。

於是我永遠覺得世界在我之外。

直到此刻,只有光是方向。

當我不怕成為影子,我才終於跟隨自己。

我才終於不怕身處黑暗,也才終於不怕面向光芒。

我才看見別人的光,並沒有讓我因此黯淡,因為從來,只有光能點燃光。

我才看見自己的光,才再也不怕成為別人的影子。

才再也不怕世界顛倒我,如果我終於在自己的中心。

Before the world reverses me, I reverse my world first.

Make it the reverse. Let light be where shadow used to be.

I used to think I'm the center of the world, for I never move. Thus I think the right is always right from the left; the up will never be upside down.

Yet I'm only the center of my world, for I can never see other sight out of me.

I can never feel well the outside world until I don't define it as outside.

Until for the time being I am being the light I'm following.

I am being the shadow always following me.

Thus I don't fear the dark as fearing myself; I face the light as facing myself.

Thus I see light from outside, which never dims me out, for only light lights up other light.

Thus I see light from inside. I fear no more to be the shadow following others.

I fear no more to be reversed by the world. Already yet always, I'm being the center of me rotating.
