每個演員

等待繼續演出

有段沉默了很久

WAR

 

Before the curtain falling

There was a naration that had been silent for a long time

" War and love are not over yet ! "

 

Every actor on the theater

Was waiting to continue

Performing

 

Before the curtain opening

There was a naration that had been silent for a long time:

" The war broke out ! "

 

( Outside flying sands and running stones )

 

The audiences under the stage screaming:

" the war really broke out ! "

 

" O lover, is it just a drama? "

GOD ( Bilingual Poem )

 

雨後的陽光

為了打救一隻飛鳥嗎?

受傷的翅膀

 

為了打救

一隻可憐的蝴蝶嗎?

斷臂的身影

 

一場雷雨後

打救一些被溺的眾生嗎?

蛇蟲鼠蟻……

 

一場冰雪後

打救一隻僵硬的

企鵝?

 

教堂的鐘聲啊

振振有詞的似在回答:

阿門

GOD

 

Is the sunshine after rain

To save the flying bird?

The wounded wings

 

In order to save

A poor butterfly

The broken arm figure

 

After a thunderstorm

To save some drowned creature?

Snake, insect, rat, ant.....

 

After falling snow and ice

Saving

A stiff penguin?

 

Ah, the bell in the church vibrating

Seems to answer:

Amen

圖書館LIBRARY ( Bilingual Poem )

 

某日

我走進一間外國圖書館

管理員在打盹

書架上的書

也在打瞌睡

 

我逐個將它們叩醒

圖書館這時

得很

像個音樂朗誦會

 

我彷彿聽到

貝多芬的交響曲

惠特曼

詩的朗頌

 

其實我到來

是想找尋屈原

龐德翻譯過他的

想找尋李白

泰戈爾翻譯過他的

 

一張張

很中國的臉

LIBRARY

 

One day

I walked into a foreign library

The administrator was dozing

The books on the shelves

Were also sleeping from fatigue

 

I continued one by one to wake them up

The library was very noisy at that time

Like a music recitation concert

 

I seemed to hear Beethoven's symphony

Whitman 's poem reading

 

In fact, I was coming

Wanted to find Qu Yuan

Ezra Pound has translated his

Wanted to find Li-Bai

R.Tagore has translated his

 

One by one

A very Chinese face

蜘蛛說SPIDER SAID ( Bilingual Poem )

 

當人們以愉快的心情

迎接新年

卻以矛盾的心理憂慮

日子愈來愈短

 

在人們去舊迎新的洗掃中

我失去了家園

逃亡中  寄居

在一棵榕樹上

 

首先  我被接受

一個鐵一般的現實

不敢去夢想將來

飄零的歲月

是一種痛苦的肆虐

 

我孤獨的面對

殘酷的世界

忍受風雪的欺凌

烈日的煎熬

 

往後的日子啊

誰能預測得到?

生命時刻都會被否定

無論你是何方神聖

死亡  遲早都會到來

SPIDER SAID

 

When people welcome the New Year with a happy mood

But with the ambivalence worry the day are getting shorter and shorter

 

During prople cleaning the old and welcome the new

I lose the home

Escape from death

Perching in a banyan tree

 

First of all, I accept

An iron-like reality

I dare not dream of future

A wandering years are the painful raging

 

I am lonely facing

The cruel world

Endure the bullying of the snow

And the scorching sun

 

In the day to come

Who can predict?

Life will be denied at any moment

No matter where you are sacred?

Death, sooner or later will come

槍灰色的歲月GUN-GRAY YEARS ( Bilingual Poem )

      ----回憶越戰而寫

 

一個槍灰色的夜

掠過一隻槍灰色的兀鷹

繞著我槍灰色的戰壕

夜披著槍灰色的屍衣

強風吹著槍灰色的口哨

搖撼著槍灰色的幢幢鬼影

夜很槍灰色的不很浪漫

而且帶著槍灰色的憂鬱

我擁抱槍灰色的雅典娜

等她發出一聲槍灰色的命令

一排槍灰色的子

打從我的槍樘射出

劃破一片槍灰色的夜空

GUN-GRAY YEARS

.....written for recall Viet-Nam war

 

A gun-gray night

A gun-gray vulture passing over

Around my gun-gray war trench

Night dressig with a gun-gray shroud

Strong wind blowing a gun-gray whistle

Shaking one by one of the gun-gray ghosts

The night was very gun-gray not very romantic

And with a gun-gray melancholy

I was hugging gun-gray Athena

Waiting for her to yell a gun-gray command

A row of gun-gray bullets

Shot from my gun

Scratching a gun-gray night sky
