〈烽火台2〉
當落日點燃熊熊烽火
歷史迴光中的烽火台
卻一個接一個
冷冷陰暗下去
塵沙漫天的黃昏裡
漠漠的眼睛
瞥見天邊一顆星驟然亮起
把警訊
迅速傳遍宇宙
WAR-SIGNAL STATIONS #2*
when the setting sun lighted the last fire
the war-signal stations darkened one after another
in the dim light of history
amid a dusky sandstorm
he saw the sudden ignition
of an evening star
sending out a warning signal
all over the universe
*Ancient Chinese system of relaying war signals by series of fires from high stations
