慢條斯理的樂手

深垂的幕後

我們早已聽到

悉悉索索的鞋聲與椅聲

曳過偶而露出一點亮光的

舞台

只等那個慢條斯理的樂手

坐定打開盒蓋情人般取出

烏溜光潔的豎笛

小心翼翼檢視撫摸然後

深深吸一口氣

發出

解凍的第一聲鳥鳴

為春天定音

慢条斯理的乐手

深垂的幕后

我们早已听到

悉悉索索的鞋声与椅声

曳过偶而露出一点亮光的

舞台

只等那个慢条斯理的乐手

坐定打开盒盖情人般抱出

乌溜光洁的竖笛

小心翼翼检视抚摸然后

深深吸一口气

发出

解冻的第一声鸟鸣

为春天定音

AT THE CONCERT AFTER A LONG WINTER

from the stage behind the curtains

occasionally light leaks out

with the shuffling sound of feet and chairs

impatiently the audience waits

for the master musician to sit down

pick up his instrument

caress it with eyes and fingers

finally take a deep breath

and blow away

his first note

that sets the tone

for spring
