梔子陈育虹

CAPE JASMINE史春波, 乔治·奥康奈尔 译


1.

These lapped petals
複沓的花瓣
repeat the scent
複沓的香
of morning, of earth, dew’s
清晨的泥土的乳白的霧的
milk-white fog
露的


Scarab’s claws,
金龜子腳趾的
spittle of blue triangle butterfly
青帶鳳蝶唾液的以及
(as if from your body),
(像是你身體的)
sweet liquors distilled of night,
醞釀著甜酒的夜的褥枕的
mattress, pillow

A fragrance creeps
從半夢的床崖靠近
from the bed’s half-dreamt cliff
貓一樣輕
hesitant
拿捏不定
light as a cat

複沓的記憶,飽滿
Echoing memory, rich
厚實的(啊是你的手掌)
and weighty (ah your palm)
向我
opening toward me
張開


2.
This eggshell porcelain

this shallow wineware
這薄胎瓷
how can it hold the repeating fugue
這淺酌的酒器
about to overbrim
如何盛裝複沓得就要

溢出的白色賦格
I await you

(I’ll stay if I say so)
你會來嗎?
Can you hear? How
(如果說我在這我正在這)
uncertain, soon to shatter
你會聽見嗎?多麼

不確定,像是要碎了
3.

Like bunched clouds soon
to tear apart,

snow on the treetop
像是束攏的雲就要
soon to melt
失散

樹梢的殘雪
the sound dims
就要融化
but still echoes,

that color (oh how it resembles white silk’s
那音質分明低弱了
fear of defilement)
依然迴盪

那顏色(唉如何一種素絹
It’s surely time to close
的潔癖)
the moon halo’s twenty-one petals,

its twenty-one layers
分明該崩解了
lingering
月暈的二十一重花瓣

終是
Besieged city, I can’t after all
二十一重不捨
step from your open web,

its pale labyrinth
的圍城,我終是走不出
its turns
你張開的
網,複沓的
乳白迷宮
