积木游戏

就在这片
心的废墟上
他们曾亲手
用坚实多彩的
方块
搭建起一座
巍峨辉煌的神庙

至於它後来
究竟是被一只玩厌了的手
轻率无聊地一下子推倒
或因其中一个负重的方块
禁不起风风雨雨的侵蚀
而颓然塌陷
年代久远
已湮灭不可辨析



THE GAME OF BLOCKS


It was right here

on this ruin of hearts

they built with their own hands

using sturdy colorful blocks

a magnificent lofty temple



As to what happened later

whether it was carelessly pushed over

by a bored hand

or one of the blocks

was so eroded by the elements

that it crumbled under its weight...

since it was such a long time ago

nobody could really tell



(中文版被收入《蚱蜢世界》─《非马新诗自选集》第三卷(1990-1999) ,秀威资讯,台北,2012.7;英文版被收入 BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH ,PublishAmerica, Baltimore,2010

Good metaphor. I was trying to figure out what it was referred to. Of course it can be alluded to diferent things by different readers which is a plus in poetry. One thing brings to mind is that nothing can be built strong on "心的废墟上".

Enjoyed.
