一處方啟華

下班的路上，我經過一處孤島

之所以說它孤島，是因為

它的存在與川流不息的北一環

格格不入，它像一個迷你公園

被設置在一條擁擠的道路邊

它的身後是一處老舊小區

小區的人一定看不上這

至少被縮小了100倍的某處公園

所以沒有現實的鳥群，只有

兩隻木製的仙鶴對眼相望

沒有鮮活的物種，只有兩隻藤編的

小鹿，它們其中一隻仰天長嘯

另外一隻小鹿羞澀地低頭吃草

關於這草，我不得不承認

它是真實的，它是某個工人

從某處移植過來，同理可以推測

這裡的花，也是來自某處

所以關於這座孤島，我們可以

得出一個結論：首先它是孤立的

它是被拼接而成的，它是存在

於現實和虛擬之間的，它與我

有著一種彷彿命中注定的緣分

且它是可以寫入詩中的，每次

路過，我都會想像自己是一個

偉大的詩人，我的眼睛，我的

鼻子和我的潛意識開始捕捉任何

帶有詩歌的氣息，比如睜眼或者

閉眼，亦或者是閉著眼睛傾聽

除了連綿不絕的汽車鳴笛聲和灰塵

我在努力尋找一種所謂

「傳統的鳥叫聲和現代主義的花朵」

我努力證明自己是正確的，就好比

我經過了這條馬路，我孤立在這座城市

我在熱鬧的詩群說了我的某個觀點

我開始反省和鬥爭，我望一切因果

可以扭轉次序，我試著把黑暗剖開

去看看究竟裡面是一點點光亮，還是

更加黑暗。我努力讓自己靜下來

認認真真的聽聽一朵花在開放的過程中

是否會發出微弱的喝彩聲

SOME PLACE

by Fang Qihua

After work, I passed an island.

The reason I call it an island is because

its life seems out of place in the constant stream of traffic

on the North Ring Rd, like a miniature park place

next to a crammed highway.

Behind it is an old neighborhood,

where the folks must have sneered at this "park",

not even one percent of what it should be,

not a real flock of birds except

two wooden cranes facing each other,

no live animals but for two rattan-woven

deer, one, head raised back whinnying,

the other grazing timidly.

As to the grass, it"s true, it"s real,

laid down by some worker, and one can also wonder

about the exotica of the flowers here.

So, about this island, we can draw our conclusions

safely: it"s isolated and it"s pieced together, its existence,

half-real and half-dreamt up, I feel close to it

as our fates seem to intertwine.

And it"s great for poetry, each time

I pass by, I imagine myself

a great poet, eyes,

nose, subconscious mind hoping to capture

something with a touch of poetry, doing it with eyes open

or closed, or hearing with eyes closed

for something bigger than the endless honking and the dust,

something resembling the so-called

"traditional bird songs and modernist flowers."

I try to prove my point, not unlike going

down this road, separating myself from the city,

voicing my opinions in a lively poetry group,

constant pros and cons, hoping for a change of order

out of cause and effect, trying to pry open darkness

for the slightest peek of light within, even though

it might well be an even darker view. I try to quiet myself,

try to catch very carefully the sound of blooming flower,

not to miss the faint cheer in case it is there.
