夢遊明陵

帝王們豢養的石獸

蹲坐在歷史甬道的兩旁

如一群馴畜

要不是我偶然回頭

看到牠們裝盲的眼

在夕陽下閃露兇光

我定會直直走進

那越張越大的血盆大口

不再醒來

梦游明陵

帝王们豢养的石兽

蹲坐在历史甬道的两旁

如一群驯畜

要不是我偶然回头

看到它们装盲的眼

在夕阳下闪露凶光

我定会直直走进

那越张越大的血盆大口

不再醒来

VISITING MING TOMB IN MY DREAM

the stone beasts raised by the emperors

squatting on both sides of the historical corridor

like a herd of tame animals

had I not looked back by chance

catching a wicked sparkle from their feigned blind eyes

in the slanting rays of the setting sun

I might have walked right into a bloody mouth

opening wider and wider

never to wake up again

Note: Also called the Thirteen Tombs,  Beijing’s Ming Tomb is a group of thirteen graves for thirteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty.
