《芝加哥时报》

〈在餐桌上〉

举箸

听一条

嘴巴张得

比我还大的

鱼

述说

上钩的故事

冲刺的手

突然僵在半空中

当我发现

盘里兴风作浪的

竟是

自己的

兄弟

AT THE DINING TABLE

raising a pair of chopsticks

while listening to

a fish

mouth opened wider than mine

spiced up

with all kinds of condiments

telling the story

of how he got hooked

my hand

suddenly froze

in midair

when I discovered

the one stirring up

strong winds and waves

on the plate

was my very own

brother

〈花▪瓶〉

风在叫些什么

鸟在叫些什么

树什么颜色

云什么颜色

天空什么颜色

这些来自广大

原野的花

只顾勾着头

争看窗外

却没想到

把花瓶的脖子

扯得又细

又长

FLOWERS AND THE VASE

what is the wind howling about?

what are the birds chirping about?

what colors are the trees?

what colors are the clouds?

what color is the sky?

fighting to see the world

outside the window

the wild flowers stretch

the neck of the vase

long

and

thin
