空也静

汉英双语诗集《轮回》作品展之十二
  诗者：空也静   译者：程家惠

狗
一条哈巴狗
穿一件红马甲
翘着尾巴
从眼前
大摇大摆地
走过
仿佛跟着一个
大人物
Dog
A toady dog
Dressed in a red vest
Tail sticking up high
Before my eyes
Strutted by
As if following
A big shot

角 色
参加完婚礼
又赴一个葬礼
一辈子
像跑龙套一样
都在赶场
连表情都来不及
换一下
Role
Right after a wedding
I rushed to a funeral
My entire life
Is like playing a small role on the stage
Running from one show to the next
With no time even for a change
Of facial expressions

记 忆
记忆就像一个蜂窝
挂在老槐树上
月光轻轻地捅一下
往事便倾巢出动
蜇得我浑身
青一块紫一块
Memory
Memory, hung on an old pagoda tree
Is like a hornet nest
When poked slightly by the moonlight
Out swarm the bygones
Their stings left me with
Blacks and blues

猴 子
锣一响
猴子便跳出来
不停地蹦哒
自以为这巴掌大的地盘
就是舞台
不知道被人耍着
Monkey
The moment the gong rings
The monkey would leap out
And keep jumping around
Taking this palm-sized domain
As a stage
Unaware of being tricked

理 想
一块印着暗花的小手帕
被我反复地使用
沾满了泪水、鼻涕和血迹
像一块旧抹布
藏在衣袋里
轻意不敢掏出
Ideal
A small handkerchief printed with faint flowers
Has been used by me over and over
Now all stained with tears, snot, and blood
Like an old rag
Which I keep in my pocket
And never risk taking out

猫
撅着屁股
趴在窗台上
瞅着
夜晚的城市
在猫眼里
只剩下一只老鼠
The Cat
Sticking up its butts
Crouching on the windowsill
He looks at
The city of the night
In his eyes there's nothing left
But a mouse

组 装
把身体拆开
摆放整齐
一件一件清洗
擦拭
组装成一个奥特曼
从此
刀枪不入
Assembly
I disassemble my body
And lay the parts in order
Wash and wipe
One by one
And assemble them into an Ultraman
Henceforth
No sword nor spear can impale
