漢英雙語詩〈功夫茶〉刊登於《芝加哥時報》2023.3.3

 

〈功夫茶〉

 

一仰而盡

三十多年的苦澀

不堪細啜

 

您卻笑著說

好茶

該慢慢品嘗

 

DRINKING TEA AT A FAMILY REUNION

--After Thirty Long Years of Separation

 

Down at one gulp

how unbearable it would have been

to taste drop by drop

the cup of thirty bitter years

 

You smile and say to me

good tea

should be sipped

and savored
