商禽·《逃亡的天空》英译

死者的脸是无人一见的沼泽<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

荒原中的沼泽是部分天空的逃亡

遁走的天空是满溢的玫瑰

溢出的玫瑰是不曾降落的雪

未降的雪是脉管中的眼泪

升起来的泪是被拨弄的琴弦

拨弄中的琴弦是燃烧着的心

焚化了的心是沼泽的荒原

The Escaping Sky

Shang Ch’in

The deadman’s face is a swamp unseen by men;

A swamp in the wasteland is the escape of part of the sky.

The fugitive sky is the brimming of roses;

The brimming of roses is the snow that has never fallen.

The fallen snow is a string being twanged;

A string being twanged is a tear in the veins.

The rising tears are burning hearts;

And burning hearts are swamps, their wastelands.
