▎長途
火車和詩歌沿鐵軌行進。 白天和夜晚。小窗 為明亮呼吸——每三 秒,三秒——。速度 渦旋到耳朵裡 像美人魚的尾巴。吞下 一句話,細聽多一次。 平台上有人揮手 某人,何人。貨運火車, 乘客火車,動物火車 臥舖火車,驅逐火車。 突然隧道閉上 眼睛。陰影動搖,重如 行李,塞滿太多的根。 結果這首荒唐的詩出了軌, 而我以為是在談論距離。
(Jesús Sayols譯)
▎Long journey
Along the tracks run the trains and the poems. They run by day and they run by night. Little windows so the light can breathe—every three seconds, three seconds. The speed curls into your ears like the long tail of a mermaid. Swallowing a word so as to hear it the reonce more. On the platforms someone waves, someone, who. Goods trains stuffed to the gunwales, passenger trains, trains pulling cattle-trucks, trains full of stretchers, trains of deportees. Without warning, the tunnel closes its eyes. Shadows stagger, heavy as suitcases too full of roots. And this absurd poem derails, speaking—I think—about distance.
