原文: 养蜂手记•五

这是生机勃发的南方。春天。

我们成了油画中的人。

我们将蜜蜂养在圆形的水桶里。曾经,

我们用它盛水

现在我们用它酿蜜

 

我们的儿子,

有可能会成为一个拖拉机手或邮递员。

现在他还小,像豆荚里的豌豆一样饱满。

我们将摇篮和滴水的菜篮悬挂在房梁上,

听着他轻微的呼吸。

自此生活安顿,如同停转的马达。

译文: Journal of Bee-keeping·V

 

Spring's coming,

It's the south with everything budding

We are living

In such a natural painting

With barrels our bees are living

Once it was used to hold water

Now it is used to make honey

 

Our boy

Would be a driver or a poster

So young is he

Like a pod full of peas

On the beam

The cradle is hanging

And a basket is driping

Listening

To his gentle breathing

Such serenity in life,

Is just like a stopped engine.
