捕獐记

Catching a Doe

夜里没有事情发生
大早醒来，南边的丛林有了动静
溜烟地跑过去，昨天设下的陷阱里
一只灰獐蜷起受伤的前肢

多么兴奋啊，我想抱起它发抖的身子
当四目相视，它眼里的乞求和无辜
让我力气全无

只能说，是它眸子里的善救了它
接下来的几天，它养伤
我也在慢慢恢复心里某种柔和的东西
山上的日子是默契的
我变得清心寡欲

一个月亮爬上来的晚上，我打开笼子
它迟疑了片刻，猛地扬起如风的蹄子
多么单纯的灰獐啊，它甚至没有回头
 它善良到还不知道什么叫感激
			

At night, nothing happened.
Morning came, a rustle in the jungle to the south woke me.
I ran there quickly; in a trap I set the day before,
a grey doe curled up her injured forelegs. 

What an excitement! I wanted to pick up her trembling body,
but her innocent and begging eyes met mine,
and sapped all my strength.

I say, the kindness in her eyes saved her.
The next few days, while she mended,
I too recovered something in my heart  
a slow coming sort of softness. 
The days in the mountains brought understanding, 
my desire stilled.

One evening, when the moon climbed high, 
I opened the cage.
She hesitated, then raised her legs like a hooved wind. 
That innocent doe, she didn't even look back,
too pure to know what is gratitude.
