〈學畫記〉

 

不是每一抹晚霞

都燃燒著熊熊的慾火

憂鬱的原色

並不構成天空的每一片藍

 

所有陽光蹦跳的綠葉

都有一個枯黃飄零的身世

每一朵流浪的白雲

都有一張蒼白的小臉在窗口癡望

 

在斑斕的世界大色板上

你調了又調

知道遲早會調出

一種連上帝都眼紅的顏色

PAINTING LESSONS

 

not every evening glow

is ablaze with desire

not every melancholy patch of sky

is a primary color

 

each glittering leaf in the sun

has its withered yellow life story

each roaming cloud

is watched by a tiny pallid face in the window

 

on the resplendent palette of the world

he mixes and mixes

knowing sooner or later

he will come up with a color

that even God will envy
