第42天
Bird Sunrise in Winter
陽光如鳥群生于冬天
Elizabeth Jennings
伊麗莎白·詹寧斯
Close eyes. Stay still and you can hear Rising of sun, ferocious cries
閉眼。靜一靜能聽見 太陽升起,震耳欲聾
Speaking of birth about your ear, An eloquence of skies.
敘說著新生在耳邊 雄辯響徹天空。
Winter perhaps but this is spring Wrung from cold earth.
冬天也許只是春天 掙脫凍土。
Harsh life asserts Its pressure on the air, will sing Untill the singing hurts.
頑強生命 向空中施壓,將詠贊 直到歌聲傷人。
Open your eyes. The light is birds. They bear the sun and clip it round.
睜開眼。光芒是鳥群。 托住太陽把它剪斷。
Almost they break out into words In this impulse of sound.
幾乎用這律動之音 迸出字字微言。
