白玫瑰陈育虹

WHITE ROSE史春波, 乔治·奥康奈尔 译


——想起
to remember

我要你想起我
I wish that you think of me
像想起一朵白玫瑰,白玫瑰的
as if recalling a white rose,
身體
its bloom the mild tint
它暖冬清晨的淺色調
of a pleasant morning
水露的氣息
and the dew’s exhalations

它野鴿子斂翅的姿態
Its form like wild dove’s wings
緊緊收藏的心,雛黃色的
once closed on a cream-colored heart,
慢慢裸開
opening, exposed
那花瓣隨即一瓣一瓣,一瓣瓣
as these petals, one and another
鬆散,往外舒捲
curved in the soft arc
橢圓的弧度
of slow release

(它放鬆的身體
Such supple shape
有野鴿子的羽翼
trembling like dove’s wings
撲動著
to slip through afternoon air,
欲飛)
sometime clouds sometime rain,
在忽云忽雨的午後
sensing their own
看著自己飛……墜…飛……下
rise and fall, rise and fall

知道有一方土地
as the earth
會承接它紛落的魂魄
recalls each spiralling soul
會記得
so like memory
一隻白鴿
the white gesture
飛過的姿態
passing as a dove
