海洋詩篇
黃河浪 作/李明心 譯
Pearl Harbor
The war took place more than three feet away. The blossoming
Life lasted less than a second. As a result
Little fishes are studying history
Inside a sunken battleship
White doves survey the world
From atop the lofty gunbarrels
Sun battleship
The battleship
Rusting on the ocean floor
Still struggles
After being sunk years ago
Raises its smokestack above the surface
Not calling for help
Nor to breathe
And has stopped emitting smoke
It only opens its mouth
Silently calling
Toward heaven
Coral bay
The sea embrace the mountains to form an emerald island
Mountains embrace the ocean to create a coral bay
Waves chisel rocks into bronze statues
Rocks shape the waves into narcissus flowers
Men dive to the seat bottom searching for mermaids
Fish breach the surface looking for the Dragon gate
Queen's Surf Beach Park, Hawaii, Dennis Stock, 1980
On the Beach
Plump nude bodies recline on the fine sand
Drying out their excessive sunscreen
An emaciated traveler dies in the desert
Drying out his thirsty bleached bones
White skins bathe in sea and sunshine
To achieve the fancy of chestnut complexion
A dark-faced man wishes for a cosmetic
To bleach away the troubles that come with life
The Surfer
Stepping on a fallen leaf
You can whirl with the wind
Dance on the waves
Lightly cruise atop the ocean
Through an undulating path
With wings of a seagull
Facing the howling wind and whistling sea
A swerving of the body
Brings you on top of the wave
Splashing sea spray crowding together
Create the tide
Frozen waves glide and soar
The life of strength and suppleness
Is rooted in
Wind
Waves
Sunset Over the Sea
On the blue sports ground of the sea
A rapidly racing wave
After stumbling over the rocks
Quickly leaps up like a fish
With a high kick
Knocks the red sinking sun into
History
