死後的信仰寒烟

FAITH AFTER DEATH史春波, 乔治·奥康奈尔 译


會有一雙孤兒的眼睛張開
The orphan’s eyes open,
說出這世界遺物般的重量
uttering as legacy this world’s heavy weight.
會有一隻狗,一路嗅著
A dog sniffs by,
在你騰出的空曠中流浪
claiming the space you’ve left.
會有一棵被星光瞄准的樹
A tree targeted by stars
繼續在黑夜裏歌唱
hums all night.
會有一匹預言大雪的馬
A horse scenting snow
在世代的曠野上重複你的沉默
echoes your silence across a timeless moor.
會有,會有一簇野生的雛菊
A clutch of wild asters
偎在墓碑的胸前
leans toward the breast of your tombstone
撫慰你被風雨剝蝕的孤獨
stroking its worn solitude.

為什麼等死後才開始你的信仰?
Why wait till death
to start believing?
