Swan and Shadow 天鹅与影子
Swan and Shadow —— Dusk
Above the
water hang the
loud
flies
Here
O so
gray
then
What A pale signal will appear
When Soon before its shadow fades
Where Here in this pool of opened eye
In us No Upon us As at the very edges
of where we take shape in the dark air
this object bares its image awakening
ripples of recognition that will
brush darkness up into light
even after this bird this hour both drift by atop the perfect sad instant n ow
already passing out of sight
toward yet-untroubled reflection
this image bears its object darkening
into memorial shades Scattered bits of
light No of water Or something across
water Breaking up No Being regathered
soon Yet by then a swan will have
gone Yes out of mind into what
vast
pale
hush
of a
place
past
sudden dark as
if a swan
sang
美丽的天鹅
清澈而宁静的湖面 孤芳自赏
自己那美丽却略带寂寞的倒影 也许它会想
什么时候自己也会变成 那朵千古流传的
黄色水仙
人亦如此
生活在自己绚丽的光环下 忘却周围的平凡与简单 走出那道美丽的光圈 才发现原来
生活是该如斯
冷漠的代价是
无边无际的孤独
还有
永远空虚的灵魂
美丽的天鹅
金色的水仙
自恋的人生
他们都有寂寞而华丽的倒影
当天鹅飞向天际
水仙笑对众人
自恋的人儿走向你我 倒影不再孤独
生命亦不复黯淡
