出國

 

出國

你走了
去到一個很遠的地方
長毛人的家鄉
你的皮膚
黑亮發光
反照著沙灘上的太陽
深深的墨鏡
映出三點泳裝

可為什麽
還要想起故鄉
那幹草垛旁菊花黃
日當午懶洋洋
頑童戲水
潭清見底翻波浪
竹影搖逸
驚飛一對鴛鴦

Going Abroad

You've gone to a place far away

a strange country

on the other side of the earth

where hairy people live.

But why?

Your sun glasses reflect

the sun on the beach

and the full-lipped smiles of girls

with big breasts in bikinis.

Then why do you still dream of

the warmth of dry hay in the lazy sun

the scent of wild chrysanthemum

the juicy chewy sugar cane

far away at home?

And why do you still remember

the deep clear pool

in the green mountains

a white figure

swimming like a fish

distorting the peaceful shadows

of a grove of bamboo?
