Zen Poetica 克難禪詩by Claire Wang-Lee王克難

Zen Poetica I 克難禪詩（一）

1. Black against a myriad ground

Little like flowers

Black against white

In a museum corner

That is all there’s to it.

1. 黑色的多彩背景

小如花朵

黑白分明的背景

博物館的一角

就是如此。

2. Premeditated Morning

Color Vase of Last Night

Green shadow brightens the curtain

Early haze promises a clear day

Birds fly before worms awake.

2.預定的早晨

昨晚的花瓶

綠影照亮簾子

鳥兒起床比蟲還先。

3.The Puzzle That is

All inventions have faces

No man is a local language

No images are pain

Before the distance is touched.

3.那張拼圖

所有的發明都有顏面

沒有一人說當地語言

沒有痛苦的圖片

接觸到遠方的途徑

4. Pageant Pines

The flowers of May flush

No muddled knees

Blue-blooded natives in the creek

Foreign lotus is a Zen face.

4. 松林露天劇

五月發憤的花

沒有沾泥的氣息

貴族的原鄉人在小溪

外鄉的荷花禪的臉。

5. The Arch of June

A page to notice

The window faces the traffic

The wildness of former hands

has withered a new one flourishing.

5.六月的拱頂

從一頁了解

窗子開放給交通

從前手的狂野已荒蕪

新的正在繁榮。

Call out the azaleas

The underground warm spring

Teas of the Song Dynasty

Clouds hear the sobbing

in the green of lakes

Long, white cedars witness.

呼喊著杜鵑花滿山高巌

地下溫泉

The mighty valley thunders

at a higher altitude.

金蛇散開他捲曲的翅膀

憂愁的憂愁

雄大的山谷

Piercing the aching flesh

of the rice paddies

In the gray smoke

they resemble a

fable of katydids.

In an invisible dynasty

mulberry trees paint silk.

刺入水田痛的肉身

在灰色的煙霧中

它們好像一片螳螂的寓言

一個看不見的朝代

桑樹畫成絲。

The dew’s flesh is pink

The canaries in the clouds

display their trills

in the still lakes.

展現它們的高音。

Mixed with weeds,

expand

expand

Trills of brightness

roots of a rainbow.

和野草一起

延申, 延申

亮的捲曲

你神話的寵兒

五彩的根。

Seen beyond the hourglass

Against the self-possessed wild geese

看過漏斗時間

與自言自語的野雁比

The mountain moon’s mind

Does not know the wind slowing

The soft guitar

Golden blue-bell minstrel.

山月的思想

不知鳳在減慢她的速度

Stars dim

The clock winds down to explain

The morning is floating on the web

The melting away of the spirit is here.

13-給

星星暗下

時鐘緩下來解釋

早晨在網中浮沉

離魂的融化就在此時。

14. Summer’s Play

The willow is like the moonlight

Weaves in the free sky

Water echoes in enchanted caves

Whisper secrets who would hear?

14-夏天的劇本

柳絮像月光

天空自由地流動

水在著魔的洞穴迴響

有誰聽她耳語的秘密？

15. Top Hat Gazes Idly

Muse of the native lane

Flowers are blown away with the wind

The visiting chirping sounds familiar

Home wrapped in hasty solitude.

故土的繆思

花在隨鳳飄散

探訪的啾啾聲似曾聽過

家園裹在急促的孤獨中。

Stars as magic

Dreaming the illusionary dictionary

Dance the freedom of exhaustion

Wireless and cellphones

On the highway a solitary glance

The age of newly found fairytale.

星星是神奇

做幻想字典的夢

跳舞直到精疲力竭

無線電和手機

高速公路上獨一的眼神

新世紀的童話。

Silver and swallows

Sunshine and popcorn

Nirvana of mixed up metaphors

A bridge to cross

A field to dance in

And mountains to climb.

陽光跟爆米花

一個混淆輪迴的隱喻

過一座橋

原野的舞蹈

還有無盡可爬的山。

The broad walk is full of pushcarts.

四月天氣

收停車費的女工作人員

在沙灘上
