贝都因人

Thirst is an impediment for
crawling hooves
across the Sahara, eyes are stars

breakfast among the dunes
shifting ridges, windy
nudges challenging our camels, their

throaty calls streaking across
the terrain, a dust storm spirals
from the sky, creates

a stamping on the ground, the
measure of sun's anvil.
			

横越撒哈拉大沙漠，对于
爬行的足蹄，
干渴是一大障碍，眼是星辰

早餐，在层层沙丘
不断变幻的峰脊之间，风力
绵绵，挑战着我们的骆驼，他们

喉头发出嘶叫，刮过
地貌，一场沙尘暴盘旋，
由天而降，重创出

一条印迹在地上，留作
太阳砧骨的标记。
			

No Fences

栅栏无存

are in view when we
capture world friendships

a Yarmulka, Bourka, Cap,
Fez and Burnoose
together as a parade of strength.

Jose, Avi, Lee, Joseph
and Mikhail, even Abdul sit
shoulder to shoulder

in a pew once held for
mourning services

sticks and stones, suicide
bombs, rubber bullets
now pushed aside.

Friendship is a new song,
where parents watch, with
prayerful thanks

for this scene of peace beyond
their own dreams, angry
voices mutating no longer.
			

变得无影无踪，当我们
捕捉到的世界友谊

是犹太男便帽、 印度女布尔卡、
美国棒球帽、土耳其毡帽，
还有阿拉伯斗篷头遮
在一起示威游行。

西班牙裔的霍瑟、意大利裔的阿维、
华裔的李、犹太裔的约瑟夫、
斯拉夫裔的迈克黑尔，并且还有
法裔的阿朴杜拉，也全都肩并肩

在致哀仪式上，
同坐一条长凳，

石头和棍棒、自杀
炸弹、橡皮子弹
统统被抛在了一边。

友谊是一首新歌，
在那儿，父母在观望，
暗暗祷告，衷心感谢

这和平景象，远远超乎
他们的梦想，再也不会
有愤怒的声音突变。
