酷我-北美枫

Translation of a poem by my father 萬沐

Butterfly

The May Shade oppresses what is little left
Barren and unfurnished,
While the Red House hides quietly beneath foliage.
Outside the window, the pear blossom mosaics into the room,
As people within treads on the disorganized shadows

A green butterfly--from where?
Bearing an unresolved dream,
Flew into this narrow doorway
By a mortal chance.

A dream,
Deep at the end of the blossom,
Filled with the haze of the moon.

The butterfly is but a shadow
I chase.
Its moves light and erratic.
Like mist, like pondering dreams
It fades into the blossom
Swiftly, like the sighing wind

蝴蝶

萬沐

五月的绿荫已把空间压迫得很小很小
红楼默默地躲在叶子下面
窗外的梨花镶嵌进了屋子
窗内的人踩踏在梨花凌乱的影子上

谁家绿色的蝴蝶
倏忽间飞进了这窄窄的门洞
——可否是千年的机缘
带着一个未曾破解的梦境

梦——在梨花的深处
仿佛弥漫着月下的朦胧

我追逐着蝴蝶的身影
蝴蝶的脚步却飘忽而且轻盈
——轻得似雾、似梦
它翩然地飘进梨花
又象一阵清风
