《威尔斯山地区公园》

龙

潜伏在驼背水库

幽深处

为了邀请她

沿着步道

五月

将最水灵的花植

无私奉献

化了快三十年，才熟悉起来的，有

蓝色卡马斯

海红花

荷包牡丹

橙色金银花

阔叶景天

印度画笔

夏雪草

都是她钟爱的颜色

一路摆到山顶

断崖处

发现几株普通蓍草

只是为了诱惑一条龙

也是拼了

有龙，夏天，便有守护之神

山，不在高，有了

自己的神仙

我许诺她

一首诗歌

正如我

许诺威尔斯山

一朵白云

峡谷

被她与麦克唐纳山

夹住

隼

一个极具灵性的象形文字

于白云深处

进进出出

最被无视的

只有苏格兰金雀花

渡过无数次的清剿

戏称加拿大黄花

算是本土化最深的移民了

Mount Wells Regional Park

By Hepingdao

A dragon

Lies in ambush

Within the profound depths of Humpback Reservoir.

To invite her out,

Along the winding trails,

The month of May

Offers up the most succulent flora

In selfless devotion.

What has taken me nearly thirty years to know by heart:

Blue Camas,

Sea Blush,

Pacific Bleeding Heart,

Orange Honeysuckle,

Broad-leaved Stonecrop,

Indian Paintbrush,

And Snow-in-Summer.

These are all the colors she adores,

Arranged all the way up to the summit.

At the edge of the cliff,

I find a few sprigs of Common Yarrow.

Just to lure a dragon—

Nature is truly giving its all.

Where there is a dragon, in summer, there is a guardian;

A mountain need not be high—

Once it has its own deity.

I promised her

A poem,

Just as I promised

Mount Wells

A white cloud.

The canyon

Is held in the embrace

Between her and Mount McDonald.

A falcon—

A hieroglyph of pure spirit—

Deep within the white clouds,

Flickers in and out.

The most ignored of all

Is the Scotch Broom;

Having survived countless culls,

Jestingly called the "Canadian Goldenrod"—

Perhaps the most deeply rooted immigrant of them all.
