儿子
Tr firefly
黑影盖过父亲的脸庞
父亲行将驾鹤云游 我尚未落地
母亲已轻声道晚安
葬礼上 鹪鹩一路欢唱
多年后我移居海滨
那里依山傍水 日出如常
有人找我寒暄
聊得很投机
我发现了山下的洞穴
墙上雕着画 碎片零落满地
在洞穴地上我摸索把玩 终日不倦
然而 以赛场的名义 邻近居民来开辟山洞
垃圾 洞天 破车 兽尸
巨岩在黑暗里滚落 洞顶坍塌
我百般阻挠 终是徒劳
让它去吧 这古老的传说
明晨 洞里必是阳光普照
Son
by W.S. Mervin
As the shadow closed on the face once my father's
Three times learning forward far off she called
Good night in a whisper from before I was born
later through the burial a wren went on singing
then it was that I left for the coast to live
a single long mountain close to the shore
from it the sun rose and everyone there asked me
who I was I asked them who they were
at that time I found the cave under the mountain
drawings still on the walls carved fragments in the dirt
all my days I spent there groping in the floor
but some who came from nearby were wrecking the place for a game
garbage through holes overhead broken cars dead animals
in the evenings they rolled huge rocks down to smash the roof
nothing that I could do kept them from it for long
the old story the old story
and in the morning the cave full of new daylight
