苔痕爬上了台階

moss climbs the steps

胖婦人坐在椅上吹乾頭髮

the fat woman sits and dries her hair

潮濕溽熱逐漸變成涼爽

sultry the heat slowly cools

池塘生長了春草

spring grass thrives by a pond

技工坐在長凳上抽一根煙

on a bench the mechanic draws on his cigarette

半天的勞累在空氣中舒散

half the day’s labors slip free through air

圓柳變成了鳴禽

the willow rounds to a songbird

白領午休拿起几上的漢堡

noon, the secretary lifts her burger,

抬頭在高樓夾縫尋找飛鳥影子

tilts back her head, scanning the gaps of tall buildings

草色映進了眼簾

for the shadowed flights of birds

打字小姐修理呆鈍的電腦

her eyes the color of grass

等待從鋼灰心懷裏泛出嫩葉

the typist restarts the slow computer

坐看青色爬上衣裳

her steel-grey heart awaits the tremble of tender leaves

how green ascends one’s clothes
