佩英•霜降：榕叶在古树片片散晶光

海外文苑

霜降 恰在第一粒霜落前离开去阳光雨水充沛之地去鸟雀无需迁徙的大洋去金光的海岸 总抢先一步--在树尚未结疤处抽绿在夏风未抵达前就一树繁花在秋风扫落叶前结果 车流人流水流以及青春皆是一去不回头的箭镞--注定要奔赴 携一本古老经书阅读，开光，再一次次投胎--摇篮轻飏九万里 风鹏举--榕叶在古树上片片散晶光清亮是婴儿眼（于24年10月23霜降日抵达越南西贡） Frost's Descent Just before the first frost falls, I leave, heading to a land bathed in sunlight and rain, to the vast ocean where birds need not migrate, to the golden coast. Always one step ahead— sprouting green before scars form on the trees, blooming in full before summer winds arrive, bearing fruit before autumn winds sweep the leaves away.The flow of cars, people, water, and youth, all like arrows— destined to never return. Carrying an ancient scripture, I read, bless, and reincarnate again and again— the cradle swaying across ninety thousand miles. The winds lift like wings— Banyan leaves on the old tree shimmer with light, as clear as a baby's eyes. Note:Arrived in Saigon, Vietnam, on October 23, 2024, the day of Frost's Descent. 白云之乡 一群逐水而居的人们最早划独木舟抵达，追鸟捕鱼长歌采薇 之后是你，你祖父的祖父莅临据拥了一片片山水那时天空与你眼睛一样蓝云朵与肌肤一样洁白你们安心牧羊耕地，草长莺飞 再后来我与我之同类浩荡抵达，据拥了片片山水切割树木土地，打造水泥森林屋宇我据拥了你 你安静看我，如看那些生灵仿佛从未消失我成你眸深处一只游荡的精灵 直到秋霜冬雪来过直到鸟雀呢喃草木细语山水丰腴小狐狸终于脱胎成人，携手安居云朵覆盖的山林注：据传当年毛利人带凭借星星和海潮判断方向，越过茫茫大洋，看到远处天边，长长的条条白云下面一片陌生的新岛，惊呼 “Aotearoa！” 于是“长白云之乡”就成了新西兰的别名。 Aotearoa--Land of the Long White Cloud A group of water-dwelling people, first arrived paddling canoes, chasing birds, fishing, singing long songs, gathering wild plants. Then came you, your grandfather's grandfather arrived, claiming pieces of mountains and rivers. At that time, the sky was as blue as your eyes, the clouds as pure as your skin. You peacefully herded sheep and tilled the land, while the grass grew, and orioles sang. Later, I and my kind arrived in great numbers, claiming pieces of mountains and rivers, cutting down trees and land, building concrete forests and houses. I claimed you. You watched me quietly, like you watched those creatures, as if they never disappeared. I became a wandering spirit deep within your gaze. Until autumn frost and winter snow came, until the birds whispered, and the grass and trees murmured, until the mountains and rivers grew full. The little fox finally shed its form, becoming human, settling down hand in hand in the mountain forests covered by clouds. *Note: It is said that when the Māori first crossed the vast ocean, guided by stars and tides, they saw a new distant island under long streaks of white clouds on the horizon and exclaimed "Aotearoa!" Thus, the 'Land of the Long White Cloud' became the nickname for New Zealand. 原谅 其实，声音四面八方皆传来然，我只听见秒针滴答，露珠啪嗒落地鸟鸣，花落 其实，还有一阵阵轰响从莫名远方传来夹着绝望与死亡之呼喊我当成风 其实，还有各式景象有熊熊火光，流弹，与燃烧的天空有庞贝古城来临前的末日 然，我只见月出惊山鸟夜风掀纱帘一角 还有蝴蝶，向日葵中金蝶，马蹄莲里中白蝶我能一一分辨 原谅我的渺小--把拯救地球留给上帝拯救战争孤儿留给伟人与领袖把拯救蚯蚓，枯树留给自己把爱我之事，留给你 佩英，新西兰作家、詩人、译者、报纸主编。23年獲第30屆義大利“烏賊骨”最佳外國作家獎，作品翻译成近20国语言传播，被比利时皇家图书馆、罗马大学等图书馆收藏。现任世界诗歌运动委员会理事兼大洋洲总协调员，博鳌国际诗歌节副秘书长，东南亚华文诗人大奖评审团委员。
