A PIPE DREAM

in the deep of day

a pipe

lets out a yell

jumps to its feet

drains and shakes off

all crude oil

and sewage sludge

before turning itself

into millions of tiny translucent tubes

that connect all human hearts

to the universal refinery

drawing a long breath

of relief

it lies down

and continues

its pipe dream

WINDOWS

no window is big enough

to hold the panoramic views

of the world

so smart human beings

convert all sceneries

into virtual images

on the streets

          at the beaches
                  on the mountains

                         in the wilderness

the only scenery that remains --

people standing

                  walking

                          sitting

                                 squatting

                                          reclining

all stare at the tiny windows

in their hands

LIES, LIES, LIES

nowadays

even lie detectors

lie

if you ladies don’t believe me

just try and ask the following question

Does this dress make me look fat?

白花蝴蝶兰 WHITE ORCHIDS

白花蝴蝶兰

1

亮丽的阳光下

白色的翅膀

在清风中

微微扇动

这样幸福的日子

即使能飞

谁也不愿意离开

狂风暴雨下

白色的翅膀

紧紧围护着

母亲的胸怀

这样苦难的日子

即使能飞

谁也不忍心离开

2

白色的翅膀

一張一合

一張一合

你聞到了吗

她清香的

呼吸

WHITE ORCHIDS

1

under bright sunshine

white wings

flap lightly

in the gentle wind

such a happy day

nobody is willing

to fly away

under the heavy storm

white wings

cling tightly

to mother's bosom

such a dreadful day

nobody has the heart

to fly away

2

white wings

open and close

open and close

do you smell

the fragrance

of her breath

Sharing two poems of my dear poet friend Glenna Holloway

 

共享美國詩友格蘭娜•豪勒威 （Glenna Holloway)的两首英文詩。去年九月去世本星期天將是88歲的這位傑出的女詩人，在她的電腦裡留下了許多發表或未發表過的詩稿，我和幾位朋友正在積極整理，再決定用什麼最好的方式把它們保存下來。
