雙語詩〈願你有張吊網床〉刊登于《芝加哥時報》2021.12.31

願你有張吊網床

有了一張吊網床

便滿天陽光滿眼清涼

馬雅人的甜夢

在兩棵綠樹間擺盪

有了一張吊網床

便滿城燈火滿臉驚惶

懼高者的噩夢

在兩棟摩天大樓間擺盪

注：南美洲的馬雅 (Maya)人至今仍喜歡睡在吊網床上。「願你有張吊網床」是他們的日常問候語。

HAVE A HAMMOCK

Bright sunshine above

cool grass below

swinging between two trees

a sweet Mayan dream

Dark sky above

a sea of lights below

swinging between two skyscrapers

an acrophobe’s nightmare

Note: The Mayans still sleep in hammocks

      between two trees.   “Have a hammock”

      is their daily greeting.
