酷我-北美枫

[寄北]

蝎子

杜若和寄北译

有谁知道
炎热刺人的白日
脆冷的夜晚
和让剧毒纯净无疵的艰辛

好象这些还不够
那些空洞的眼睛
无用的盔甲
机械的爪子。。。

活着的身体
跟它的另一半。。。离得很远

来吧：上帝、人、天使
你们中谁会想到我呢
当我的黑夜降临
当我从沙丘升起
当我尾端欣长的脖子

挺起来往后
袭击我唯一的月亮的后踵的时候

Scorpion

Who knows
The hot stung days
And brittle cold nights
Of keeping a great poison pure.

As if it weren't enough:
These blank eyes,
This useless armour,
Automatic claws that rasp--

Body that lives,
That lives apart from ... that other.

Come: gods, men, angels,
Who among you will think of me
When my night arrives,
When I rise over the dunes,
When the long neck of this

Tail of mine draws back
To strike the heel
Of my only moon.


This poem is a furious scream of a poet towards an indifferent society. The scorpion’s poison, the art, the moon, the poetry are very hard to make and keep, but even when the poet dies, “When the long neck of this/Tail of mine draws back/To strike the heel/Of my only moon,” still there may be nobody thinking of him.

Poetry has always been a rare beauty whose magic can only be seen by those who are blessed.
