〈創世紀〉

 

 

創作了《白晝》之後

上帝這位大藝術家

又調配了各式各樣的顏色

野心勃勃

想趁勢再畫幾幅

不朽的作品

 

但任他怎麼塗抹

就是塗不掉

黃昏的畫布上

那雙惆悵的眼神

 

終於按捺不住

越來越膨脹的藝術家脾氣

他順手抄起一桶黑漆

猛潑了過去

沒想到就這樣完成了

題為《黑夜》的傑作

 

GENESIS

 

after painting The Day

God the great artist

continued mixing

all sorts of colors

hoping to create

a few more

eternal art pieces

 

yet in spite of his repeated efforts

he was unable to cover up

the pair of melancholy eyes

that remained stubbornly

on the canvas of the Evening

 

finally he could no longer control

his swelling artists temper

grabbed a pail of black paint

and splashed all over the canvas

 

unwittingly

he created a masterpiece

The Night
