William Marrs bilingual poem To Paint A Bird appeared in Chicago Chinese News, 2024.10.25

〈給一隻鳥畫像〉

你的頭往這邊斜
牠的頭偏往
那邊歪
反正牠不當
脫衣弄姿的模特

就在你擠顏料調色眯眼比劃
剛要落筆的時候
牠卻輕拍翅膀
嘩地一聲飛走了
撇下
一樹的
綠

TO PAINT A BIRD

when you tilt your head
this way
she will tilt hers
that way
anyhow
she is no model
posing
for no one

after mixing the colors
squinting one eye then the other
beckoning to this and that
finally you are ready to start
just then she flaps her wings
and takes off
leaving behind
a tree of
green
