凯旋门
 ——罗马游之六

条条大路
都通向
霓虹闪烁车水马龙的
商业区

在一截野草丛生的废道上
我看到左右跨开巨人般双腿的
凯旋门
默默站在暮色苍茫里
想不起当年
凯旋的队伍究竟从哪一头
旌旗蔽天鼓角动地而来

只有顽皮的风
在它宽容的裤裆下
钻来钻去
不停地钻来又钻去

ARCH OF TRIUMPH, ROME

all roads lead to

the business district

of highrises and neon lights

on a stretch of a deserted road

overgrown with wild grass

I see the arch standing astride

squinting in the evening light

as if trying to recall from which side

the returning triumphant troops approached

flags covered the sky

drums shook the earth

but there is only the wind now

mischievously playing between its legs

back and forth

tirelessly back and forth
