AT THE WATERFALL

Deep in the mountain

there are plenty of caves

where one can sit in solitude

and meditate

Yet I stand here full of joy

looking up at the waterfall

as enlightened thoughts

dart through the air

like thousands of silvery horses

　

觀瀑

--黃石公園遊記之二

深山中

多的是幽洞玄天

可以獨坐

可以冥想

我卻仰頭站在這裡

滿懷喜悅

看萬馬奔騰的水壁

滔滔湧現

禪機

VIEWING THE JADE BITTER GOURD

-- AT THE PALACE MUSEUM IN TAIPEI

Despite their sweet aftertaste

my wife refuses to include bitter gourds

in her menu

Standing in front of the glass case

I watch my favorite delicacy

simmer in the slow flames of time

while the tip of my tongue

swims naked

in the saliva

of memory

　

　

白玉苦瓜

-- 看台北故宮博物院的玉雕

　

什麼苦都吃得

善烹飪的妻

卻總把苦瓜我的舊愛

排在菜單之外

只好透過詩頁

透過空間阻隔的玻璃

讓這用時間的文火

鮮美誘動舌尖

去裸泳

津津的記憶
