〈給一朵花寫生〉

風有點憋不住氣

蝴蝶的翅膀不耐地開開合合

而性急的蜜蜂

早在那裡營營嗡嗡

那支畫筆

就是遲遲落不下去

它們不知道

在畫家的眼前

這朵花正與一張同樣盛開的臉

你死我活爭奪地盤

此刻任何偏袒的一筆

都將引起

負心的責難

TO PAINT A FLOWER

the wind can no longer hold its breath

butterflies impatiently open and close their wings

restless bees fly around

humming louder and louder

yet the brush

just won’t come down

they don’t realize the flower

is presently engaged in a fierce struggle

with a blooming face

for a vantage in the painter’s eyes

any inadvertent stroke

will certainly bring an accusation

of being partial

and heartless
