Sharing Dreams

共梦

Living with flocks of lightweight cranes
along the riverbed and fields,
I would stand tall
to look them in the eye,

gaze at their lilting
layers of pale feathers
to discern what lies beneath,
beneath,

and slowly back away
so they wouldn't strike me
with steel-strong legs
for invading their unmarked territory;

make a bid for their tough endurance
of sixty million years,
so as to acquire it as my own,
and pass it through these genes

of words,
these airborne poems,
then raise my broad and scalloped wings,
and dream their dreams.
			

同轻盈的鹤群在一起
沿着河床及田野，
我将挺立
深深看进它们的眼里去，

凝视它们蓬松
层层叠叠的苍白羽毛
去辨识它们的底下
更深的底下有些什么

然后缓缓后退
这样它们不会攻击我
以它们钢壮的腿
因我侵犯了它们无标识的领域,

设法取得
它们六千万年的坚韧耐力
据为己有，
通过这语言的

基因，这些凌空的诗句
留传下来，
并举起我宽阔圆齿的翅膀，
梦它们的梦。
			

Two Alone

单独两只

                           
Away in dusty light of ancient India
or across spoiled plains of Afghanistan,
when there are only two slim white cranes
standing alone,
it will be time
   to hurry,
   to hurry up and wait,
   to wonder what to do about
just two proud Siberian cranes.

You will follow this kinless pair,
dodging hunters,
   searching for shallow lakesides --
   ones not taken over by fishing nets
   robbing their wetland home.

You will still follow them,
as in desperation
   they enter fallow rice paddies,
   their heads jerking down,
piercing the mud for something.

You will try to spread your crumpled wings
as they do, follow high behind them,
weakly flapping against the cold,
   looking for someplace,
   looking, and hoping:
when there are only two slim white cranes left,
   and there are.
			

远在古印度尘沙弥漫的光线里
或横过阿富汗破败的原野，
当只有两只瘦伶伶的白鹤
站在那里，
那将是时候
    去赶快
    去赶紧并等待，
    去思量该怎么办
对仅剩的两只骄傲的西伯利亚白鹤。

你将跟随这无亲无故的一对，
躲避猎人，
    寻找洼浅的湖边--
    那些还没被鱼网占领
    没被抢夺的沼泽家园。

你仍将紧跟它们，
走投无路地
    它们进入休耕的稻田，
    它们的头猛然往下，
穿戳泥巴觅食。

你将展开你皱折的翅膀
像它们一样，高高地跟在它们后面，
无力地在寒冷中扑打，
    寻找地方，
    寻找，希望：
当只剩下两只瘦伶伶的白鹤，
    只有两只。
