The Anchor

锚

This muscled anchor is a weathered old seaman. 
It has sailed beyond the Seven Seas and it lends  
its reddish heft and sculpture to this reflecting   
pool shimmering in summer heat. What brings    
the anchor to a university distant from docks     
that exchanged cargo with the world, away 
from the lifeboat rusting by the lake?  
Was it here that Odysseus planted his oar?        
Anchor: weight of safe harbor, strong mooring. 
Anchor: place of no leaving, weight for the dead.
Somewhere in a thicket, a bird chucks loudly    
and the echo surrounds this whizzened relic      
Like an arrow centered on its target. 
			

这副锚就是一位饱经风霜的老水手，一身的肌肉。
它驶越了七大海洋，炎炎夏日中， 
粼粼的波光映照出它的微红的敦实身躯， 
仿佛是一尊雕塑。是什么
使这副锚来到了一所大学， 
远离与世界各地交换货物的码头？ 
又与湖边的救生艇分离，任其锈迹斑斑？
难道是奥德修斯在这里安放了他的橹棹？
锚：承载港湾安全的重任，确保强大的停泊。
锚：在一处没远行的地方，承载着死者的分量。
灌木丛中，一只小鸟在大声鸣叫
回声萦绕在这旋离的遗物周围
犹如一枝箭，瞄准了靶心。
