《春馳》-葉維廉

杜鵑的花魂

被關在

瀝青路面的 公圳里

柳條的風姿

搖曳在

遙遠的記憶中

我們馳行在

撲撲的新生南路上

尋覓著

思夢著

迷茫中你我熟識的展紅與垂綠

臺大古老的鐘聲

隨著自行車悠然的輪轉

跌宕到我們現在

急迫的行程

距離

像霧里的年齡

都是無從理辨的網線

一點光

偶然

自微溫的過去亮起

紫藤一片花

在車窗閃動

我們馳行著

在急燥的車聲中

談論一種冷

談論一種熱

如何在刻板的架構里

觸發一種跳躍

一種怒放

自感情涌溢的泉源

在單調灰色的影子間

在速度的追逐下

如何去覓出那

若即若離得而若失的語字

在冷中

讓它們緩緩地溫熱

讓它們緩緩地著色……

杜鵑花魂低低的呼喊

滅絕在車塵里

柳條細梳微扣的風姿

失影在濃得不透明的陽光中

我們馳行著

向過去

向將來

那若明若暗的奔路

Traveling in Spring

YeWeilian

Thesouls of azalea flowers

Aretrapped

Belowthe dark canal under the tar thoroughfare

Thewindblown ways of willows

Swingin the

Memoriesof a distant past

Wetravel together

Onthe dust-raising New Birth Road South

Insearch of

Dreamingabout

Thosefamiliar petals-red and leaves-green in the vague air

Theold bell of National Taiwan University

Asif to echo the turning wheels of bicycles

Rings,rippling waves

Reachus in the present

Ina journey, anxious and pressing.

Distance

Likeone’s age—in the mist

Isa network of lines that defy undoing

Amere dot of light

Occasionally

Brightensfrom the lukewarm past

Wisteria,a stretch of flowers

Flashby the car window

Wetravel together

Insidethe restless humming of engines

Talkingabout a kind of cold

Talkingabout a kind of heat

Andhow they break out from rigid frames

Tostimulate a kind of frisking

Akind of total unfurling

Fromthe fountain of surging feelings

Betweenmonotonous gray shadows

Underthe chase of speed

Andhow to find out from it

Thosewords, engaging, disengaging, between getting and losing

Inthe cold

Tolet them slowly warm up

Tolet them slowly take on color....

Thequiet cries of azaleas

Fadein the dust of cars

Thefine combing of windblown willows

Becomesinvisible in the dense opaque sunlight

Wetravel together

Towardthe past

Towardthe future

Thatrunaway road

Nowbright, now dark
