湿吻
─怀念剛去世的犬孙可可
他闭着眼
习惯地伸出右手
摸索床边
柔顺的皮毛
以及短促热切的
呼气
却突然被一个
冰冷生硬的凹陷
惊醒了过来
睁开眼
他看到他的手
正呆呆地
在那无限扩张的虚空里
干等
一个沾满口水
调皮偷袭的
吻
A WET KISS
— for my granddog Coco who recently passed away
with eyes closed
he habitually stretched his right hand
over the bed side
to feel for the soft fur
and her panting
warm breath
but was startled
by a frigid hollow
that snapped his eyes open
he saw his stupefied hand
stuck in the middle of an ever-expanding emptiness
waiting
for a warm
sloppy kiss
that never came
运气
那纯然是我的运气
一大早拉开窗帘
便看到两只松鼠
在阳光亮丽的白雪上追逐嬉戏
死寂了一整个冬天的后院
终于又有了生气
那纯然是它们的运气
刚从昏睡的黑洞里爬出来
便有一双闪光的眼睛
在拉开的窗帘后面出现
将它们的活泼天真
一一捕捉下来
并把它们短暂的探险
写成了一首诗
LUCK
it was my sheer luck
upon raising the shade in the morning
to catch sight of a couple of squirrels
chasing each other
on the sun-drenched snow
the backyard dead in the long winter
suddenly became alive
it was their sheer luck
upon emerging from their winter slumber
that a pair of twinkling eyes appeared
behind a raised shade
capturing their innocent vivacity
and rendering their brief adventure
into poetry
无名花之歌
红玫瑰，紫罗兰，白兰花，金银花，
这些都是人类牵强附会
胡乱安在我们头上的名字
根本同我们无关
那个凑着鼻子吻我们脸庞的小孩
根本不知道我们的名字
却是我们的知心
也让我们放心
知道他不会象那些评论家
热情澎湃摇头摆脑歌颂赞美之余
一剪刀把我们剪下
去讨好他们的情妇
或主子
SONG OF NAMELESS FLOWERS
rose, violet, gardenia, honeysuckle,
names given to us arbitrarily by humans
have absolutely nothing to do with us
the child who kisses our face
knows nothing about our names
yet he is a thousand times more lovable
than those
who after passionate admirations
would cut us without hesitation
to please their mistresses
or masters
