万一你不来-零零壹肆伍（今天你是第一百四十五次没来）



THE BANYAN TREE
O YOU shaggy-headed banyan tree standing on the bank of the pond, have you forgotten the little child, like the birds that have nested in your branches and left you?
Do you not remember how he sat at the window and wondered at the tangle of your roots that plunged underground?
The women would come to fill their jars in the pond, and your huge black shadow would wriggle on the water like sleep struggling to wake up.
Sunlight danced on the ripples like restless tiny shuttles weaving golden tapestry.
Two ducks swam by the weedy margin above their shadows, and the child would sit still and think.
He longed to be the wind and blow through your rustling branches, to be your shadow and lengthen with the day on the water, to be a bird and perch on your top-most twig, and to float like those ducks among the weeds and shadows.

榕想

站在池边蓬头的榕树，在日光微波旁跳舞
摇动的枝头投下不停不息的金梭，织绣着花毡的水塘

妇人们常到你身边池塘汲水，你的大黑影在水面摇动，好像沉睡的人忽然挣扎要醒来
你可记得那个小小的孩子，就像在你的枝头筑巢又离开了的幼鸟
你可记得他坐窗内，诧异地望着你深入地下纠缠的树根
两只鸭子挨着芦苇的影子游来游去
孩子静静地坐在那里，不住的想

那时的他想做风，吹过你的萧萧的枝杈
那时的他想做你影，在水面随日光而俱长
那时的他想做一只鸟，栖息在你的最高枝上
那时的他还想做那两只鸭，在芦苇与阴影中游荡
