北島之《夜歸》
經歷了空襲警報的音樂
我把影子掛在衣架上
摘下那只用于
逃命的狗的眼睛
卸掉假牙,這最后的詞語
合上老謀深算的懷表
那顆設防的心
一個個小時掉進水里
像深水炸彈在我的夢中
爆炸
Coming Home at Night
BeiDao
Afterbraving the music of the air raid alarm
Ihang my shadow on the hat-stand
takeoff the dog’s eyes
(whichI use for escape)
removemy false teeth (these final words)
andclose my astute and experienced pocket watch
(thatgarrisoned heart)
Thehours fall in the water one after the other
inmy dreams like depth bombs
theyexplode
(Bonnie McDougall and Chen Maiping 譯)
