魔法思考

 

(昇)在我沒意識到的黑暗裡頭,柔和的光線從眼皮滲入,充滿了整個眼球並伸入我的頭骨,穿過的大腦浸透到了後尾枕。 周圍出現物理聲音。過了一會,我眼睛釋放一條小縫。

(落)枕頭,床,毯子。 平躺。閉上眼睛。放鬆我所有的肌肉。再檢查我的身體幾次,檢查是否有一些小塊的肌肉我忘記放鬆了。感覺我的身體沉入地下。我停止思考。全都在休息,意識轉化為空白。然後消失。

 

Magical Thinking

 

(rise) Out of the darkness that I am not aware of a soft light seeps through my eyelids, filling my entire eyeball and reaches into my skull, soaking through my brain to the back of my head. Sounds of the physical surrounding emerge. After a while, I release a small gap in my eyes.

(set) The pillow, the bed, the blanket. Lying flat. Eyes closed. Relaxing all my muscles. Going through my body a few more times to check if there are some small pieces of muscles that I forgot to relax. Feeling the weight of my body sinking into the ground. I stop my mind. All at rest, and consciousness transforms into emptiness. And then disappear.
