三首雙語詩

漢英雙語詩〈薩達姆的圈套〉刊登於《芝加哥時報》2025.4.4 〈薩達姆的圈套〉 火藥燒炙過 毒氣薰過 淚浸過 血泡過 獰笑抽打過 哀號扭絞過 他知道 粗繩的每一縷 都強韌牢靠 而在同那麼多異己的脖子打過交道之後 他相信對尺寸有絕對的把握 就這樣他步上絞刑台 坦然地把脖子伸入 他處心積慮為自己 量身定做的 圈套 SADDAM’S NOOSE scorched with gunpowder fumigated with poisonous gas drenched with tears soaked in blood strengthened by sinister laughter entwined with piercing cries every thread of the rope he knows is tough and dependable he walks up to the gallows and calmly sticks his neck into the noose he made for himself confident it will not break 漢英雙語詩〈復活節的驚喜〉刊登於《芝加哥時報》2025.3.28 〈復活節的驚喜〉 靜靜躺在舒適的窩內 因母体的溫暖而更顯得 晶瑩奪目的 這兩顆鳥蛋 一定是上帝藏在那裡 給孩子們復活節的驚喜 卻讓既非信徒更非小孩的我 無意中發現 被我的粗手粗腳嚇飛了的 母鳥 此刻正在不遠處的草地上 目不轉睛地監視著 我 明知越短暫的美 越可能永恒 我還是忍不住要多看牠們幾眼 但我保證會讓母鳥 在卵面餘溫散盡之前 回到它的窩 AN EASTER SURPRISE Lying magnificently in the nest the two blue eggs, still radiant with the mother’s warmth must have been hidden by God to give children an Easter surprise yet I, no longer a child happen to find them The mother bird startled away by my intrusion is now standing on the grass watching my every move Though knowing well the briefer a beauty is the more lasting it can become I still want to take another look but promise to let the mother get back to her nest before her warmth on the eggs dissipates completely 漢英雙語詩〈選舉〉刊登於《芝加哥時報》2025.3.22 〈選舉〉 環顧四周 他突然發現 那些本來同他一樣警醒的眼睛 現在卻都如醉如痴 被一張能言善辯的嘴催眠 迅速膨脹的謊言 成了他們緊緊攀附的氣球 載浮載沉 載浮載沉... ELECTION TIME looking around suddenly he found people once alert all seemed to be in a trance clinging tightly to balloons of rapidly expanding lies bobbing up and down up and down...

雙語〈鳥籠詩〉

雙語〈鳥籠詩〉發表於《秋水詩刊》203期,2025.4 鳥籠詩 非馬 從童年起,我便對鳥籠感興趣。1973年我寫了下面這首題為〈鳥籠〉的詩: 鳥籠 打開 鳥籠的 門 讓鳥飛 走 把自由 還給 鳥 籠 最後的鳥與籠分開成兩行。我的許多朋友說他們喜歡這首詩,但不太了解它的真意。通常當我們打開籠門,得到自由的是鳥,不是籠。有一天我的一個同事告訴我說他知道了。我問他知道了什麼?他說O.J.辛普森是一隻鳥,我們是籠。現在把他判無罪放走了,我們就自由了!那時候美国著名的橄欖球明星O.J.辛普森因謀殺前妻及其朋友而受審,電視上整天播放審判的過程,大家都不勝其煩。我告訴他那可能是個好解釋。之後,我又寫了下面這首題為〈籠鳥〉的詩: 籠鳥 好心的 他們 把牠關進 牢籠 好讓牠 唱出的 自由之歌 嘹亮 而 動心 在這詩裡的鳥可能是個政治犯,也可能是一個嚴厲家庭或學校裡的小孩。後來我又寫了下面這兩首有關鳥籠的詩: 再看鳥籠 打開 鳥籠的 門 讓鳥飛 走 把自由 還給 天 空 我在這首詩裡想說的是,沒有飛鳥的天空是不可能自由更不可能是正常的。下面這首詩是我對鳥籠這題材所作的結論: 鳥·鳥籠·天空 打開鳥籠的 門 讓鳥自由飛 出 又飛 入 鳥籠 從此成了 天空 大家都高興! POEMS OF BIRDCAGE William Marr Ever since my childhood, I have been interested in birdcages. I wrote a poem in 1973 entitled Birdcage: BIRDCAGE open the cage let the bird fly away give freedom back to the bird cage The final words Bird and Cage are in separate lines. Many of my friends said they liked the poem but didn’t quite get the full meaning of the poem. Usually, when we open the cage, the bird becomes free, not the cage. One day, a friend told me that he got it. I asked him what he got? He said O J Simpson is the bird, we are the cage. Now that we have let him go, we are free! At that time, the TVs were showing the murder trial of O.J. Simpson day and night, and everybody was getting bored. I told him that could be one of the interpretations. Shortly after that, I wrote the following poem: CAGED BIRD they put him in the cage to hear his song of freedom LOUD and CLEAR The bird in this poem could be a political prisoner or a child growing up in a strict family or school. Later on, I wrote the following two poems on related subjects: BIRDCAGE AGAIN open the cage let the bird fly away and give the sky back its freedom What I want to say in this poem is that a sky without flying birds cannot be free or normal. The following poem is my conclusion on the topic: BIRD * BIRDCAGE * SKY open the door of the birdcage let the bird fly freely out and in the cage thus becomes the sky All are free and happy!
