蓬松的午后 A LOOSE AFTERNOON

[和平岛]

蓬松的午后
文／非马

轻手轻脚
怕惊动
树下一只松鼠
在啃嚼
早春鲜嫩的
阳光

却仍引起
一声告警的鸟叫

但松鼠急急爬上树梢
显然不是为了惊恐
在牠纵跃过的枝桠上
灿然迸出
春风得意的
绿


A LOOSE AFTERNOON
By William Marr

light-footed
lest I should startle the squirrel
at the foot of a tree
nibbling at a tender piece
of the early spring sun

still there's the warning cry of a bird

yet what makes the squirrel climb to the treetop
is apparently not fear
for in its rushing path through the branches
green buds burst out one after another
in the spring breeze
of April
