 诸  客 

独孤食肉兽

壬辰冬游汉诗网，偶言武昌旧城事，有女网名“郎骑竹马来”者，自言曩载供职大堤口小学，询之，畴昔所寓，适我旧居，因与临屏唏嘘，隔日赋此，感念岁月，兼识此冥冥之奇。

我生初在横堤住，

彩槅镂空张画布。

偶乘梦羽上江楼，

何人花季于兹贮。

维我凭轩听雨时，

是渠剪纸收灯处。

或缘鼓吹发壁橱，

辄见鼠宫初嫁女。

殷呈牒谱话诸邻，

胡桃有核皲文古。

游巡人寓万花筒，

魔境纡曲城堡伫。

葡萄醅酽唼紫鱼，

蔷薇幕擘眠纹虎。

露萤团屐划旋阶，

适彼童车裙褶驻。

昔人时人满黉廊，

各若茕行无所睹。

顾我而笑岂非子，

唇花湿靥穿身去。

往启秾春诸瞬间，

流飔溅棂月雕庑。

他年谁舞旧操场，

朝来野草燃金露。

圮楼嵯峨屹方舟，

满载诸客同杯渡。

All the Passers-by 

By Solitary Carnivore

Tr. ZHAO Yanchun

In the winter of 2012, I browsed a poetry website and haply chatted about the past life in Wuchang. A female “Child Comes Riding a Bamboo Horse” by net name  said that, she once worked at Dadikou Elementary School. I asked her about the details, and knew that the house where she lived before was surprisingly where I lived then. So we were suprised across the computer screen and I wrote this poem to lament the years flying away and marvel at the luck of knowing each other.

In childhood in Cross Dyke I did abide,

My building like ivory carved from inside.

In my dream I rode a plume to a tower

Riverside, where she did stand like a flower.

I used to listen to rain ’gainst the rail;

She cut paper by the lamp shadow frail.

I shuttled on the flyover twice, thrice

And saw on a going wedding of mice.

They offered her a roll to show who’s who;

A chestnut has a nut to crack, that’s true.

The strollers went through a kaleidoscope and,

Beside the mirage castle she did stand.  

Grape wine may entice purple fish to leap;

Rose balm can cause a striped tiger to sleep.

I rode my babe bike and by the steps swirled,

Bumped into by her and by her skirt whirled.

The veranda held all souls, everyone

Was moving on and we were seen by none.

She turned back to smile, blossoming with glee;

Rosy lips, dewy dimples, she walked thru me.

Every moment was tipsy with her balm,

And the window carved by her moonlit charm.

Years later she danced on the playground old;

The grass bathed in dew in the dawning gold.

The building fallen like Noah’s Ark stands up,

And carries all across like Shipping Cup.
