Moon

月亮

The moon wants its sea back
Wants all liquids to acknowledge
this mother; you can hear
the obedient corpuscles lean
toward heaven. Yes, the sea
once belonged with the moon;
you can feel it long 
for that face of ash and stone,
rotating toward her empty beds.
You can see it drag 
its children, heaving itself
from its earthly canyons
green and splendid for her approval,
face up like a little girl.
You can smell its fear the moon
Will grow old, disappear.
Wild with foam, pumping light,
The sea is willing to be 
a reflection. How methodically 
it thrashes in the moon's 
new light. You can even taste
the sediment of sacrifice
as it turns everything 
her color, white. 
			

回来吧，海洋，
月亮想要众水
认识她这位娘；
你可听见膨湃奔天的声响，
是的，大海曾经属于月亮；
海洋渴望着那张
石头灰土的脸
转身朝拜她罗布的床。
你看，海洋带着她的孩子们
在深绿的峡谷中奔腾，
像一个个小女孩一般
面对着月光
希望得到她的赞赏。
你可以闻出来
海洋怕月亮衰老消亡。
疯狂地冒着泡沫，光华四射
心甘情愿地翻滚
反射出新月的光茫。
你可以尝一尝
长年不断翻腾中所产生的
牺牲品，那些渣泽，
它们都己变成白色，
她的颜色。
			

Jupiter

木星

Comet bombardment shows plumes of fire
then a dark ring at contact
the center sunken as in a miniature tire.

Hard to imagine the center's crater
Miles and miles across, clouds of gas
If on earth would devastate us later.

Altering our climate as perhaps
happened eons ago, some say
shown by three-toed dinosaur tracks.

Or by dinosaur eggs which photographs show
In one a dried fetus curled from head to tail
Crowded by shell it would soon outgrow

Just as my grandchild curls, head bowed on its neck stem
spine arced, turning, tiny arm at its nose
in the ultrasound photo
both wait to fall into day, their eyes closed.
			

流星激起火光满天
击点黑圈涟漪
如小轮胎中心般瘫陷。

撞出的大坑难以想像
几哩宽且充满飞烟
在地球上一切将消亡。

像人们所言，会造成
亿万年前的气象巨变，
三爪恐龙的足印可以作証。

或者是恐龙的化石蛋照片
乾瘪的歪胎从头到尾
弯曲于即将破裂的蛋壳里面。

就像我的孙儿的超音照片
头垂于頚柱，小膀靠鼻子，
椎如弓全身弯曲，闭上双眼，
两样歪胎都等待投入今天。
