温情的背正越挨越近
──悼念周策纵先生


第一次见到周策纵先生,是在1989年,我们去陌地生看在威斯康辛大学攻读博士学
位的大儿子的时候。先生早年以研究五四运动史闻名,文章诗书都令人景仰,可我
当年在陌地生念书,只知埋头苦读,一有空便跑去湖边钓鱼,竟无缘也没想到去向
先生当面讨教。倒是在美国土生土长的大儿子,虽然念的是化学工程,中文也没认
得几个大字,居然有幸成为先生的弟子,学习书法。我们对这次迟来的会晤都感到非
常高兴。先生请我们到一家中餐馆吃了一顿丰盛的饭,我则送了两本新近出版的诗
集给他,请他指教。

回到芝加哥后不久,便收到先生的来信。信中充满了他对我诗作的赞许,末了他才
婉转地说出他的不平(我猜这才是他真正的写信动机)。他说他的一只相依为命的
爱狗不久前才去世,读到我诗集中一些讽狗诗,心中颇不是味道,希望我能为这些
人类最好的朋友们写几首好诗。

其实我对狗,即使不像他那么富有特殊的感情,却也没什么恶感。我的那些讽狗诗
其实是借狗讽人。接到他的信以后,赶紧把心中积存的对狗的温柔情愫都翻了出来,
写成了〈故事〉:

狗闭着眼
但老人知道它在倾听

温情的背
正越挨越近

及〈性急的小狗〉:

猛跑几步
又折回头
猛跑几步
又折回头

兴奋的小狗
频频催促
摇摇晃晃刚学会走路的小主人

前面
一片平坦亮丽

我把它们寄给了先生,算是一种悔过与补偿。大儿子毕业后我们便很少去陌地生,
他也加州、威斯康辛两地跑,见面机会少了,但我们经常有书信来往,每年圣诞节
我也都会收到他寄来的的卡片,上面有他亲笔书写的密密麻麻的诗作。1996年圣诞
节他从加州寄来了一首妙趣横生题为〈非马吗〉的诗,我还征得了他的同意,在芝
加哥的华文报刊上制版发表。

这几天二儿子夫妇去中国大陆旅游,把他们的小狗寄养在我们这里,勾起了我为先
生写狗诗的往事,却没想到便在报上读到了先生逝世的消息。我油然想像,他那只
在天堂里等候多时的心爱的狗,此刻正把温情的背,向他越挨越近。

我有三句诗,里面有狗,供交流:

遛狗

两种生命一起散步
狗在前
牵着人的方向……
