汉英双语诗〈2020劳动节〉及〈猴〉刊登於《秋水诗刊》188期，2021.72020年劳动节
1
一年一度的
劳动节
却成为日复一日的
躁动节
2
在多月的辛勤劳动之後
这是个法定的
休息日子
在多月的无所事事之後
这是个非法定的
彷徨日子
LABOR DAY 2020
1
the yearly holiday
has become
a restless day
2
after many busy months
this is the official day
to take it easy
now after many restless months
this is the unofficial day
to take it uneasy
猴
从天明到天黑
它们用越拉越长的手臂
从一根树枝
到另一根树枝
把整座森林
荡成一个充满单杠双杠
甚至三杠的
免费健身房
这样锻炼出来的身手
即使没有仙石的孕育或菩提的点化
也必然成为
除魔降妖的高手
MONKEYS
from dawn to dark
they stretch and swing their arms
from one branch
to another
making the whole forest
a free gym
full of horizontal and parallel bars
even triple bars
with skill trained in this way
no doubt they will become
the masters of removing and subduing demons
even without the breeding of immortal stones
or the enlightenment of Bodhi
