THE MOONLESS MOON FESTIVAL

[非马]

THE MOONLESS MOON FESTIVAL

how do I know, tonight
above the heavy layers of dark clouds
the moon is a round ball, not a flat pancake
or a block of square or triangle
or some formless mass
and how can I be sure
that there is only one moon
not a cluster
of man-made satellites

and of course in today's digital world
I can't rule out the possibility
of the old moon being now
a virtual image

yet I know in my heart
that thousands of miles away
your gaze, penetrating the thick clouds
has filled the virtual image
with a pure brilliance
guiding my eyes
to the true moon

我们这里今年也是 THE MOONLESS MOON FESTIVAL。
古月照今人 不过是人们的想象罢了。
非马先生将这种经年咏唱的主题的诗赋予了现代气息， 以 a flat pancake 代替了以往用了无数遍的 “白 玉 盘” ；还加以科学的认识，formless mass； 科学手段，man-made satellites ，digital world。 但无论如何，年年今日， 都会产生这种思乡思念亲人之情。

问好非马先生。

the moon in the time
the moon in the space
the moon in your gaze
the moon in her dream
the moon in the poems
all the moons are beauties

问KOKHO,LAKE 及道模好!这首诗的中文版曾在这里张贴过,为了免得重复,也因为两个版本不尽相同,所以我只贴了英文版.有兴趣的朋友可到我的文集去找出来对照着读.
