三首以爱为主题的英文近作在芝加哥郊区莱尔市图书馆(Lisle Library) 参加展出，庆祝美国诗歌月.下面是这三首诗同它们的汉语版:

 

THE OPEN POETRY BOOK

 

I closed

the poetry book

on the table

 

the page you bookmarked

was a love poem

written for all lovers

of the world

 

the poem I am writing

is for you

alone

 

摊开的诗集

 

我把你摊开的诗集
合拢了来

 

那首你用书签标记的情诗
是诗人写给
天下所有情人看的

 

我正酝酿一首
只给你
一个人

 

POEM

 

I ripped up the passionate poem

you wrote for me last night

and threw the pieces

in the river

 

now you can never

change it

nor take it back

 

诗

 

我把你昨夜写的
那首热情缠绵的诗
撕成片片撒入了河中

 

你将永远无法将它
修改
或收回
 

 

PAINTING

 

I took your painting

not yet dry

 

it reminded me of the scenery

where we emerged

hand-in-hand

years ago in a faraway land

after a day’s rain

 

my dim study room

needs a window

with a picturesque view

 

 

畫

 

我取走了你

墨迹未干的那幅

画

 

 

它让我忆起

某个异国黄昏

我们携手走出的

雨后风景

 

我的书房光线不足

正需要一面

风景的

窗
