蛊*

[黑山共和国]莱娜･鲁斯･斯特凡诺维奇

告诉我你的绝望，彼此交换秘密

而世界还在转动

器皿中毒虫翻涌

无人打理的花园里

腐烂气息野草蔓生

儿时印刻的范式

几代人以来一直被忽视

最终朽坏崩摧

高贵女性杀伐果断

弃绝惰性

将杂草连根拔除

并清理创口

在呼风唤雨的仪轨中

她为深埋地下那些

带来诅咒的已故长老承担后果

她与混沌的领主们泾渭分明

让出王位

离开棋盘

Can full of worms

Lena Ruth Stefanovic

Tell me about your despair and I will tell you mine

Meanwhile the world goes on.

Can is full of worms

corruption grows like weed

in the untended garden;

Patterns imprinted in childhood

unexamined through many generations

have led to decay

Noble woman replaces inertia

with decisiveness

to uproot the weed

and clean out the wounds.

In a powerful ritual,

she takes responsibility

for the deceased elders who brought about the curse

She has no business with the lords of Chaos

Having turned over the king,

She walks away from the chessboard

治水十三年

 [黑山共和国]莱娜･鲁斯･斯特凡诺维奇

黄帝八世孙

在位期间

上统九霄、下接九泉的

圣者大禹王诞生了

孔子赞曰“禹，吾无间然矣”

华夏腹地洪灾扰攘

大禹之父奉命治水

九年时间

沿岸筑堤垒坝

却收效甚微

禹继承父志

“黄龙曳尾于前，玄龟负青泥于后”

更有农耕始祖后稷辅佐

关于他个人，人们所知甚少

成婚刚四天

受命治水的禹

便告辞新婚燕尔的妻

一别不知归期

禹，与属下风餐露宿十三年

殚精竭虑

手足长满老茧

三过家门

而不入

第一次他的妻子正在分娩

第二次儿子正牙牙学语

第三次少年已十岁

他从未进屋

还没到可以喘息的时候

洪水让人们流离失所

禹杀死相柳，活捉无支祁

焚烧瘴疠弥漫的沼泽——

世界

再次变得宜居

疏浚河床

减轻洪水对田地的冲击

华夏文明自此繁盛于

黄河两岸

他的心血开启崭新纪元

万物从此

从古老恐惧中抽身而出

自然流淌

Thirteen years of flooding

Lena Ruth Stefanovic

During the reign of

8^th great –grandson of the Yellow Emperor

a cosmic ruler and lord of the underworld –

sage –king Yu the great,

praised by Confucius for his virtues,

Chinese heartland was plagued by floods.

Yu’s father was tasked to control the flooding

he spent nine years building dikes and dams along

the riverbanks,

but his great efforts had failed.

Yu continued his father’s work

assisted by yellow dragons, black turtles

and mythical master Houji

about whom little is concretely known.

Yu had only been married for four days

when he was given the the task of taming the flood.

He said good bye to his wife,

saying he did not know when he would return.

Yu ate and slept with common workers for thirteen years

sacrificing his body to control the floods,

his hands and his feet thickly covered with callus.

he passed by his own family’s doorstep three times,

but he did not return.

The first time he passed, he heard that his wife was in labor.

The second time he passed by, his son could already call out to his father.

The third time Yu was passing by, his son was older than ten years old.

Each time Yu refused to go in the door,

he could not rest

while the flood rendered people homeless.

Yu killed demons and banished monsters

and he drained noxious swamps –

making the world fit

for people to live in it again.

He dredged the riverbeds

relieved floodwater into the fields

and Chinese culture flourished

along the Yellow River.

His efforts created a new time,

choices were made

of that which flows naturally,

without being inhibited by the old fears.
