漢英雙語詩集《輪回》作品展之九
  詩者：空也靜   譯者：晚楓

出生證
被一聲哭泣強迫著
寫下一份欠條
前世的債
用一生來償還
最終
搭上一條老命

Birth Certificate
Compelled by a cry
An IOU was signed
The debt of previous life
Must be paid in this lifetime
In the end
This old life of him is also rendered


蒙娜麗莎
場面上的事
得裝著
從咬緊的牙縫里
擠出一點笑
我真擔心
一轉身
哇地一聲
哭出來

Mona Lisa
For social mingling
Pretending is a given
A little smile has to be squeezed
Out from clenched teeth
I am so afraid
Upon her turning back
A loud cry
Would burst out

塵 土
陽光輕輕捅一下
它們就像一群小蜜蜂
在客廳嗡嗡亂飛
累了 , 就跟我一起
隨便一個姿勢躺在沙發上
無聊時 , 我會打開窗戶
看著它們一個跟著一個
飛出去

Dust
A slight poke from the sunlight
Would set them on wings, like a swarm of little bees
Buzzing around in the sitting room
When tired, they flop
Into the sofa with me in whatever postures
When bored, I would open the window
And watch them, one after another
Fly out

母 親
那年
母親被一口氣攙扶著
斜靠著木門
沒等到我回去
便倒下了
一塊石碑替母親站在塬上
一等
就是幾十年

Mother
That year
Held up by a sliver of breath
Mother leaned on the wooden door
But before I was back
She fell down
A stone marker stands in her place on the plateau
And waits
For decades straight

麥 子
一片又一片麥子
像多年沒見的親人
我能一個一個地叫出
他們的名字
時光把往事由綠變黃
一把鐮刀
割倒喘著粗氣站起的身影
留下一座孤墳
解釋生活

Wheat
Fields upon fields of wheat
Are like long lost loved ones
Whose names I can still recall
One by one
Time changes the past from green to yellow
A sickle
Cuts down the panting figure trying to stand up
Leaving a solitary tomb
To interpret life

初 夏
往事從屋頂漏下來
木柜上落滿厚厚的思念
河水搓洗著一片月光
蛙聲咬斷了
柳樹下幾句鄉音
早起的炊煙纏住一個夢
拴在門礅上

Early Summer
The past leaks from the rooftop
The wooden wardrobe has gathered some thick longings
River water is scrubbing a pool of moonlight
Frog croaks snap
Some hometown accents under the willow tree
The early morning kitchen smoke winds around a dream
And fastens it to the gate pier

立 夏
陽光越磨越尖
雨水暴漲了一池蛙鳴
羊肉串、啤酒瓶
霸占了城市的大街小巷
風被成熟的麥芒
刺得遍體鱗傷
布谷的啼叫
把季節改姓換名

Beginning of Summer
The sunshine is ground sharper and thinner
Rain floods to fill a pond of frogs
Mutton skewers, beer bottles
Force in the urban high streets and back lanes
The wind, pricked by ripened wheat awns
Bears bruises all over the body
Cuckoos' cooing
Changes the season's name

涇 渭
兩條互不相識的河
突然走到了一起
涇渭分明
只是遮人眼目的幌子
暗地里相互勾搭
誰也逃不過
同流合污

River Jing and River Wei
Two rivers unknown to each other
Come together all of a sudden
Being distinctive as Jing and Wei
Is but a mask to fool people's eyes
They hook up with each other in the dark
Neither can be spared
From a confluence in the mire
