《勃朗峰就是一块奶酪》
文/和平岛
三生万物
也生下了三个儿子
意大利,瑞士,法兰西
唯一的财产
是一只粘土烧铸的瓦罐
一罐子不知由来的原雪
寓言:只要瓦罐轮流转递
奶水就会源源不断流出
孕育出富足的子嗣
辉煌的文化,艺术和诗歌
故事的结局,你们也知道
白朗峰就像一头不知疲倦的奶牛
每天,我都要消费
半公升牛奶
一杯酸奶
两片奶酪
四腿熏肉
夜里
我反芻,我咀嚼着
她丰满的水草,她起伏的肋骨
一千层的千枚岩
是她的牛百叶
渐渐,我的体内
流淌着她的血
她的名
我几乎要复制出另一个瓦罐
在法国的边界线上,支起帐篷
我梦到自己躺在奶水之上
被一个巨大的乳房挤压着
成为千层的奶酪
一只脚刚伸过意大利边境
就被峰顶雪亮的半月牙
一刀切过
我的瓦罐缺了一只脚
我是一块被瓜分的奶酪
虽然,我觉得自己
尚能催生
另一个文艺复兴
Mont Blanc is a Piece of Cheese
By He Ping Dao
From the One came the Three,
And the Three gave birth to three sons:
Italy, Switzerland, France.
Their only inheritance
Is a clay-fired crock,
Filled with primordial snow of unknown origin.
A fable: as long as the crock is passed in turn,
The milk will flow without end,
Nurturing prosperous descendants,
Splendid cultures, arts, and songs.
The end of the story, as you know:
Mont Blanc is like an untiring cow.
Every day, I consume
Half a liter of milk,
A cup of yogurt,
Two slices of cheese,
And four shanks of smoked meat.
At night,
I ruminate, I chew upon
Her lush water-grass, her undulating ribs.
A thousand layers of phyllite
Are the tripe of her stomach.
Gradually, within my body,
Flows her blood,
And her name.
I am on the verge of replicating another crock.
On the French border, I pitch my tent.
I dream of lying atop the milk,
Pressed by a gargantuan breast,
Becoming a thousand-layered cheese.
Just as one foot crosses the Italian frontier,
The snow-bright crescent of the peak
Slices through in a single stroke.
My crock is missing a foot;
I am a piece of cheese, partitioned.
And yet, I feel
I am still capable of birthing
Another Renaissance.

根据词源字典和韦氏词典
西语与山和凸起地貌相关的词语
比如英文的mountain, mount, hill
法语的mont, montagne
意大利语的montagna, cime
都有一个共同的拉丁词根:mons
是拉丁语mons pubis的私生
指阴阜,也称维纳斯丘
是哺乳动物的耻骨上面
脂肪的凸出部位
这个定义彻底震撼到了我
令我陷入一次难得的顿悟
有阳有阴,三峰成山
这个中国古老的象形文字
被哞的一声惊倒
头朝下,脚向天
山变成m
惊起一只白蝴蝶
一只黑蝴蝶
围绕着我
缓缓旋转
我就是那副太极图
正中央的牛鼻子
一生二
二生三
三分天下
异峰凸起的勃朗峰
是阿尔卑斯山脉的恥丘
欧洲之命根子
谁管她蝴蝶,是不是我
Etymology of Mont Blanc
By He Ping Dao
According to etymological and Webster’s dictionaries,
Western words related to mountains and raised terrain—
Like the English mountain, mount, hill,
The French mont, montagne,
The Italian montagna, cime—
All share a common Latin root: mons.
It is the bastard child of the Latin mons pubis.
Referring to the mound of Venus,
The fatty prominence
Above the pubic bone of mammals.
This definition shook me to the core,
Plunging me into a rare epiphany.
Yin and Yang in balance, three peaks forming a crest—
This ancient Chinese pictograph for "Mountain" (山)
Was startled by a sudden Moo,
Tumbled head over heels, feet to the sky,
And "山" transformed into "m."
Startling a white butterfly,
And a black butterfly,
Circling around me,
Rotating slowly.
I am that very Taiji diagram,
The "ox-ring" at its dead center.
One begets two,
Two beget three,
The three partition the world.
The Mont Blanc, jutting out in singular splendor,
Is the mons pubis of the Alps,
The life-root of Europe.
Who cares if that butterfly is me or not.

Zigzagging Left, Zigzagging Right
By He Ping Dao
Bonjour, Good morning, Ciao, Nǐ hǎo, Zigzag
A megaphone for Hi’s going in and Hi’s coming out, Zigzag
A human is like a frantic pair of bellows, Zigzag
Air inhaled equals air exhaled, Zigzag
Shadows to the left, cool shade to the right, Zigzag
Grabbing a fistful of snow when thirsty, eating dry rations when hungry, Zigzag
Sun above the head, the Great Mountain behind the back, Zigzag
Setting down one mountain, only to shoulder another, Zigzag
Thunder in the heavens, cowbells on the ground, Zigzag
Cattle on the slopes, churches in the hamlets, Zigzag
The summit cross tugging at the soul, Zigzag
Rhombic shrines of Jesus at every street corner, Zigzag
Trail markers in white and red, Zigzag
In Switzerland, the white butterfly hoisting its tiny white flag is the master of balance, Zigzag
Left foot following right foot, the arrow always pointing forward, Zigzag
The back foot in Switzerland, the front foot in Francs, Zigzag
One Euro for the toilet, sixty Euros for a feast, Zigzag
Marmots whistling in the left ear, Alpine horns blaring in the right, Zigzag
A sea of flowers to the left, waves of wheat to the right, Zigzag
Shady paths running parallel to mountain brooks, Zigzag
Iron-rung ladders vanishing with the setting sun, Zigzag
Glaciers ahead, precipices behind, Zigzag
Waterfalls hanging from front peaks, jagged ridges standing in the back, Zigzag
Passing through old streets, crossing international bridges, Zigzag
Strolling through meadows, treading upon snowcaps, Zigzag
And so, Mont Blanc begins to spin in its entirety—
Sunset to moonrise; nine days later,
Revolving back to the Earth’s beginning.

白朗峰(组诗)
1、白朗峰就是一块奶酪
三生万物
也生下了三个儿子
意大利,瑞士,法兰西
唯一的财产
是一只粘土烧铸的瓦罐
一罐子不知由来的原雪
寓言:只要瓦罐轮流转递
奶水就会源源不断流出
孕育出富足的子嗣
辉煌的文化,艺术和诗歌
故事的结局,你们也知道
白朗峰就像一头不知疲倦的奶牛
每天,我都要消费
半公升牛奶
一杯酸奶
两片奶酪
四片熏牛肉片
夜里
我反芻,我咀嚼着
她丰满的水草,她的爬高下低
一千米的千枚岩饼
渐渐,我的体内
流淌着她的血
她的名
我几乎要复制出另一个瓦罐
在法国的边界线上,支起帐篷
我梦到自己躺在奶水之上
被一个巨大的乳房挤压着
成为千层的奶酪
一只脚刚伸过意大利边境
就被峰顶雪亮的半月牙
一刀切过
我的瓦罐缺了一只脚
我是一块被瓜分的奶酪
虽然我觉得自己
也可以催生出
一个文艺复兴

于是,白朗峰整个旋转了起来
日落月升,九天之后
地球又转回起点
