海边新年
远 洋
你独自在大海的岬角
搭帐篷露营,为了遥望
新年的第一缕晨光
你的心还是一个孩子
尽管你已不再年轻
经历了黑屋子里的许多至暗时刻
和隔离封控的新冠余年
在新的一年,我衷心祝愿
——你是重生的人,新生的人
让海风吹去昨日之我
和所有悲痛与懊悔
你将经过辗转难眠的一夜
你被病痛久久纠缠的身体
会从寒冷的睡袋里挣扎着爬起来
张开双臂迎接
——大海从岬角岩缝里分娩的
同样艰难的日出
New Year at the Coast
By Yuan Yang
You are alone on this coastal headland
camping out, and waiting to glimpse
the first sunlight of the new year
You still have the heart of a child
though you’re no longer young
after many days of darkness in a bleak room
and isolated years of Covid lockdown
In the new year to come, it is my sincere wish
that you may be reborn, yes born anew
Let the sea wind blow away the past
with all its sorrows and regrets
Your night will be restless
your body, long plagued by pain and illness,
will struggle to emerge from your sleeping bag
to embrace with open arms
the resilience of sunrise by the sea
born through these cracks in coastal rock
日常生活的愉悦
陈 均
清晨下雨的时光,不是那种下个不停,而是
像沉思一般地时而
望着窗外,发现雨丝
正向公园绿树断续倾诉——
一会儿开窗,一会儿关窗,
抱怨空气就像大气泡
但是不能乘坐去外星球。
所以不用去冒险,到火与冰的世界,
去拯救太空动植物了。只好
卧游
或在电脑前工作一整天其实
是在消遣深刻无聊的生活(如海德格尔所说)。
小孩子说:你写的字都将消失,电脑文档
会被扔进回收站,打印出来呢?(同样如此)
即使是书画,也将会不见。
只有石上的刻字稍能长久。但是,
下一秒时,所有的它们已飞走入熵,
而我抓一些老虎
或者大象,或者桐叶,
它们顺着时间之河泛滥到窗外,
就在我明白命运之轻与重的学习愚蠢的时刻。
Pleasure in Daily Routines
By Chen Jun
The morning rain is intermittent, as when you
meditate yet glance out of the window
every now and then, observing how the drizzle
sometimes speaks to the green trees in park
You keep opening and closing the windows
grumbling that the air resembles a huge bubble
but unable to travel to another planet
So instead of venturing to worlds of ice and fire
to rescue plants and animals in space, I have to
lie down
or work on the computer all day
It’s a life of profound boredom (as Heidegger said)
A child says, the words you write will disappear – computer files
will be clicked into the bin or printed out (same result)
Even calligraphy and paintings will disappear
Only inscriptions on stone could last a little longer.
Yet seconds later they will all be swept away by entropy
And I may catch tigers
or elephants, or tung leaves
but they will all stream through the window on the river of time
just as I learn the stupidity of weighing fate
游心泉、Peter Hughes 译
田头诗会
汪剑钊
天空多么蓝,多么辽阔,
旷野给目光带来快意的平视,
狭窄的田埂却提醒着绿黄相间的秋意,
扁担、独轮车、竹篓与打谷机还原着旧风景。
语言给了人类感恩的机会,
象形和拟声足以勘破虚无的存在,
在稻子收割后坚硬的根茬上,
还残留着写作的秘密。
走上舞台朗诵的不一定是诗人,
谷子也是可以开口的,
声音开始跳舞,
在潜语义的尽头宣示意义。
鱼塘和稻田之间的地垄,
伫立着五棵体态臃肿的橘子树,
它们竖起了金色的圆耳朵,
仿佛在倾听人与自然的第三种交谈。
Poem at the Field’s Edge
By Wang Jianzhao
How blue and vast the sky is
The wilderness brings a pleasant balance to our eyes
the narrow ridge recalls the colours of autumn
The poles, wheelbarrows, bamboo baskets and threshing equipment
restore visions of the past
Language gives humans the chance to give thanks
Pictograph and onomatopoeia have the strength
to pierce the existence of nothingness
In the tough rice stubble after harvest
the secret of writing remains
Those who recite on stage are not the only poets
Rice plants can also speak,
their sounds begin to dance
evoking meanings beyond words
Along the ridge between the pond and field
five thriving orange trees stand
They prick up their round golden ears as though
listening to the conversation between us and nature
小镇时光
谢 君
照顾一个声音
用寂静
寂静可以帮助一颗洋葱
在我母亲手中降落时
发出清晰的声音。秋天,
天刚亮,亮在空中,
亮不动,亮是我的一个警句
数一数对面人家的窗户
数一数街上的商店
数一数,小镇亮完了,小镇只有一个。
Small Town Time
By Xie Jun
Nurture sound
with silence
silence could help the onion
falling from my mother’s hand
to make a clear sound
Autumn dawn
there is light in the sky
light doesn’t move – it is one of my expressions
count the windows across the street
count the shops along the road
Count, the individual lights come on, and there is just one town
望 山
王馨梓
暗红的松针一层层,在地上堆叠
修长挺拔的松树从两侧延伸
逶迤至山顶,眼前是开阔的田野
泛着光的水田被田埂细细分割
各式房舍隐身于绿色画布下
雄伟山脉由近及远,渐渐遁逸
这图景滤掉了此刻的不安、焦虑
使人眼里蓄满清澈,在平静之中
我一次次站在这里眺望,想象着
最好的位置,无论多久多少次
我所见到的远方也从未消失
Mount Hope
By Wang Xinzi
Piles of dark red pine needles on the ground
tall slender pine trees extend on both sides
and wind up to the top of the mountain.
A wide field opens up in front of you
the glowing paddy fields finely divided by ridges
Various houses are hidden under the green canvas
The majestic mountains slowly disappear from near to far
This picture filters out the restlessness and worry of the moment
filling the eye with clarity. In peace
I stand here looking out time and time again, imagining
that in the best location, no matter how often I return,
the distances are always there

这些诗歌向我们讲述了光明与寂静、黑暗与希望、语言,以及地球上生命的韧性。第一首诗是远洋的作品《海边新年》,欢庆艰难时期后的全新开始。这首诗讲述了疫情那段时期的病痛和隔离,封控和孤独。然而,岩岸岬角上的自然环境,让读者思考起生命和重生的基本条件。作者在第二节写到:“你的心还是一个孩子/尽管你已不再年轻”。希望是难以被泯灭的。即便黑夜寒冷,你也会在醒来后看到光亮。诗歌的结尾令人振奋,纵然你“会从寒冷的睡袋里挣扎着爬起来”,你终将:
张开双臂迎接
——大海从岬角岩缝里分娩的
第二首诗来自陈均的《日常生活的愉悦》,诗中思考了时间和万物的无常。它展现了我们日常生活的场景,比如抱怨天气,或者连续几个小时坐在电脑屏幕前。所有的梦想和苦难都是暂时的——“它们顺着时间之河泛滥到窗外”。因此,我们不妨用哲学的眼光来看待我们每天所经历的挑战和希望。我们所有的思想、电脑文档、书画都会消失。“只有石上的刻字稍能长久。”
汪剑钊的作品《田头诗会》将读者的关注点聚焦于“语言”。诗歌的语言具有将过去的文化带入到当下的力量:“扁担、独轮车、竹篓与打谷机还原着旧风景”。诗歌也可以捕捉和封存大自然的声音:“谷子也是可以开口的,声音开始跳舞,在潜语义的尽头宣示意义”。我们因自然景观产生的思绪可能会通过语言而被铭记,实现我们与自然世界的对话:
鱼塘和稻田之间的地垄,
伫立着五棵体态臃肿的橘子树,
它们竖起了金色的圆耳朵,
谢军的诗作《小镇时光》将寂静与光明编织成黎明时分一副既定的小镇景象。诗歌以“照顾一个声音/用寂静 ”的训诫作为开头。在诗的最后几行,城市景观中的各个细节融合成了一种平和的整体:
数一数对面人家的窗户
数一数街上的商店
本辑诗歌的第五首,也是最后一首是王馨梓的作品《望山》。这种美丽的构图依靠视线范围的变化,将我们的视野从前景中微小的“暗红的松针”一直延伸到远处逐渐消失的山脉处。距离,就像希望一样,带来平静,让我们从周遭的忙乱与纷扰中解脱出来。然而,我们仍身处在最佳的位置,得以看到这样的景致:
这图景滤掉了此刻的不安、焦虑
使人眼里蓄满清澈,在平静之中
我一次次站在这里眺望,想象着
最好的位置,无论多久多少次
我所见到的远方也从未消失

These poems speak to us of light and silence, darkness and hope, and language, as well as the resilience of life on earth. The first poem is Yuang Yang’s ‘New Year at the Coast’, a celebration of fresh beginnings after periods of difficulty. The poem speaks of illness and isolation, a period of covid, lockdown and solitude. But the elemental setting, on the rocky coast, makes the reader think about the basic conditions of life and renewal. ‘You still have the heart of a child / though you’re no longer young’, says stanza two. Hope is hard to extinguish. Even though the night is cold, you will awake to see the light. The poem ends with these stirring lines that say, even though you ‘will struggle to emerge from your sleeping bag’, you will:
The second poem, ‘Pleasure in Daily Routines’ by Chen Jun, considers time and the transience of all things. This is the context for our daily activities such as grumbling about the weather, or being stuck in front of a computer screen for hours on end. All out dreams and tribulations are temporary – ‘they will all stream through the window on the river of time’. So we might as well be philosophical about the challenges and hopes we live through every day. All our thoughts, computer files, calligraphy and paintings will disappear. ‘Only inscriptions on stone could last a little longer.’
‘Poem at the Field’s Edge’ by Wang Jianzhao brings language to the foreground. The language of poetry has the power to bring the culture of the past into the present: ‘The poles, wheelbarrows, bamboo baskets and threshing equipment / restore visions of the past’. Poetry can also capture and preserve the sounds of nature, ‘Rice plants can also speak, / their sounds begin to dance / evoking meanings beyond words’. And our meditations on landscape may be enshrined in language, enacting our conversations with the natural world:
‘Small Town Time’ by Xie Jun weaves silence and light into a unified vision of a small town at dawn. It opens with the injunction to ‘Nurture sound / with silence’. The individual details of the townscape blend into one patient sense of wholeness in the poem’s closing lines:
The fifth and final poem of this group is Wang Xinzi’s ‘Mount Hope’. This beautiful composition relies on a shift in scale to take us from the tiny ‘dark red pine needles’ in the foreground all the way to the mountains fading away into the distance. Distance, like hope, brings peace and lifts us from the fuss and distractions of our immediate surroundings. Yet where we stand remains the best location, enabling this view:
