非馬雙語詩〈陰偶微雨〉刊登于《芝加哥時報》2026.11.6

陰偶微雨

 

整個上午

他在陰沉的天空上

苦苦搜尋

一個活潑亮麗的熟悉身影

 

但太陽一直躲在雲層後面

風屏著氣雨躡著腳

它們都小心翼翼

照著天氣預報的腳本

扮演它們的角色

 

天空的大熒幕上

整個上午就這樣播放著

一齣沒有低潮更沒有高潮

鬱悶冗長的

生命連續劇

 

終於他再也忍不住了

猛眨著眼皮

想遙控換台

卻發現自己

是劇中

一個不可或缺的

角色

 

CLOUDY WITH OCCASIONAL RAIN

 

he has been searching

for a familiar silhouette 

bright and lively

on the gloomy sky

 

but all the while the sun hides behind the thick clouds

the wind holds its breath and the rain walks on tiptoes

they simply follow the script of the weather forecast

and play their roles

 

on the big screen of the sky

a tedious daytime soap opera of life

without climaxes or anticlimaxes

drags on all morning

 

finally he decides to switch the channel

by repeatedly blinking his eyes

but is surprised to find himself

an indispensable part

of the play
