1.

一

The cicada’s one kind of song,

rain, thunder,

蟬鳴是一種聲音

breath and heartbeat

雷，雨

心跳和氣喘

The bed, the brush

of leaves against the windowscreen

床，紗窗和樹葉

another

的摩擦

是另一種

Flying past,

the crested serpent eagle beats its wings

以及大冠鷲撲翅

The sullen cat

飛過

貓的燠熱

2.

Best not to smell

二

these pheromones, stamen and pistil

不要讓我嗅到

the surging flowers

雄蕊雌蕊的費洛蒙

the swelling air

overloaded olfactories

膨脹的花

膨脹的空氣

too close

過於膨脹的嗅覺細胞

3.

過於靠近的你

Shut the window, you say

Petals soon to drop

三

The Goddess of Mercy’s forehead’s in the cloud

The pale egret beats upward from the bank

你說闔攏窗吧

featherweight

花瓣等著墜落

觀音的額頭在雲裏

The crested serpent eagle tilts

白鷺鷥拍岸是風

The cat’s ears

羽量級

Who’s playing Chopin Chopin Chopin

amid raindrops

大冠鷲一再調整

Guess what time it is

貓的耳朵

                                  now

是誰在蕭邦蕭邦蕭邦

以及達達的雨

4.

猜猜看現在

A kind of night

幾點？

belongs to low flying hawks

belongs to orange jessamine,

四

the cautious heartbeat

no stethoscope can make out

有一種夜

屬於低飛的鷹隼

This kind of night

屬於七里香

becomes a low fever,

謹慎的聽診器也聽不出的

a cough

心跳

suppressed

but insuppressible

有一種夜

屬於三十八度的微燒

Turn off the lamp, but not the creek

屬於咳嗽

nor the cicada

壓抑

This dark litany

壓抑不住。在夜裏

is ours,

its swimming heat

關燈，而溪流是關不住的

蟬聲關不住

5.

一種夜的連禱文

You make me think

屬於我們

humidity is real, the heat,

游移的    熱

its pollen itch, these tears,

五

this sun swelled red,

dust flecked wind, wrinkled cords of rain

你讓我以為這潮濕

all

是真的，這熱

這花粉帶來的搔癢和涕淚

palpable Illusion.

You make me think you’re still here

這紅腫的太陽

風的雀斑雨的皺紋

6.

都是

Azure

gaze

觸覺。錯覺。

你讓我以為你還在

The cat’s retina nets the sky,

the crested serpent eagle

六

The dewflower spreads

藍色的

summer to autumn

看。

A thunderstorm, then blue

貓以視網網住天空網住

飛過的大冠鷲

鴨跖草從夏天

踱到秋天

雷雨後的藍調
