me of the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey". "(A transparent) ray of time" is a stroke of genius. All in all a sweet, suspenseful read. "Gasp" would actually work for me, as it evokes this image of the finder of the bottle and this genie of an old soul slumbering inside for centuries scaring each other half to death, but only if you intended such a funny twist.
I really appreciated this interpretation, thank you Ibe
My understanding is that gasp using here mostly expressed an emotional feeling of the genie in surprise mixed with a desire of one thousand years locked in the bottle
a voice sounds" I am gonna grant you one favor... ... '
“Alas! why should you kill me?” cried the fisherman. “I have just freed you; have you already forgotten that?”

《另一个千年之后》
—- 忒绿
另一个千年之后
打开
漂流瓶 里面
是一缕透明的 时光
什么都没有 只听见
你的喘息
另一个千年之后
Another millennium latter
Another millennium latter
Open the drifting bottle
The inside is a ray
Of time, transparent
Can’t see nothing, but hear
Your gasp
Another millennium latter

remember what "XMJDH" stood for. But, don't you agree this sweet little poem is pregnant with meaning?
