《常青藤》诗刊2005年第二期
●得一忘二的诗
进入历史
背着满窗西斜的阳光
你随手从右侧的函中抽出一卷线装本
从左向右一页页倒退 停顿
再自上而下一列列缓慢前进
句读与呼吸在字里行间相互调整
横着翻 竖着看 眼光总跳不出四方的页面
你稍稍欠身 挪了挪屁股的角度
于是避开了东墙书架上清漆的反光
自从这张高背藤椅换下了那张黑皮转椅
你不再那么勤于续水 凉茶更浓了
案头水竹的清癯浮动于西壁的玻璃上
洛布丛书烫金的标题在书橱里如萤火的闪烁
窗外的爬山虎在夕照的沙滩上日光浴
书斋内的所有人物越发幽暗 越来越古
Into History
Drowned in the slanting rays and saved by the window frame, casually
You slip out a thread-binding book from a casket on your right.
Leafing through backward from left to right, you pause, browsing,
And slowly read, from right to left, the characters from top to bottom.
You parse and articulate the lines, regulating your breathing,
Your sight stuck between the square words, be it affixed with
fore or hind.
You raise yourself a little to shift your bottom, and shy away
From the glaring reflection of the lacquered shelf along the east wall;
In the past spring, you replaced the swivel chair of black leather with this white cane,
And your tea becomes stronger and cooler, as you don't get up as often to renew water.
On the bookcase glass along the west wall floats the shadow of a potted waterbamboo,
And behind it the gilded Loeb spines sparkle like fireflies over a summer pond.
Outside the window, Boston ivy sunbathes on the autumn sand of the evening glow,
And each character in the study becomes increasingly agoraphobic and age-old.

游园惊梦
一位是书生 风流倜傥 手执纸扇
另一位淑女 欲语还休 碎步如莲
两个长衫人一前一后走向一座凉亭
在那纸扇划出一个优雅的姿势后折起
他们先后落座 沉没到一排大红大黄的花下
美人蕉浓郁而高挑 肩骨上托着风骚
我隔湖遥望 凉亭顶犹如一只斗笠遮脸
清风吹过 湖面的小船径自扭头转身
船头所指的方向水面变窄 但并没有一池莲花
而遮挡着一条小木桥的芦苇留着淡紫的头发
时间停滞了 但黄昏却依然来临
所以当那女人突然显现于我眼前 我眼神慌乱
只记得她的黑发间夹着几片黄花 而越过她的颈窝
我瞥见那神色匆匆的男人长着和我一模一样的脸
Panic
in a Pleasance
A Confucian scholar, elegant and refined, holds a black fan and wears no
spectacles
A lady, photogenic and lovely in her bones, holds words between the lips and
brows
The two ancient-gown wearers float into a pavilion one after the other
Upon the parabola of the black fan folded up like a baton the
two sit down
Sunk behind the parapet of daring red and yellow of canna flowers
So tall and thick and so full of color they
are born charmers demure
coquettes
I watch them at
the other side of a lakelet the
arbor roof is a cocked bamboo hat
A breeze corrugates the water a
boat turns and there is neither a passenger nor a sculler
No lotus flowers line up along the sides where the water narrows down into a
strait
At the end there is a wooden footbridge half-sheltered by purple-headed reeds
Time is static but
dusk still approaches on its voiceless nimble feet
Therefore the apparition of the lady face takes me by an O-gape
And I remember only vaguely that there are some yellow petals beyond her nape
The man in flight turns his head and I see a face exactly the same as mine
