——外二首

海边

我在海边行, 期待发现一只 漂流而来的酒瓶, 装有远方音讯。 而我带的瓶子 早已塞满相思……

拣石

忍受了千百万次, 海水的冲刷; 炼就了你, 周身的风采和光华。 ——请告诉我个中秘诀, 去问岸滩泥沙。

海带

你想来把大海, 打扮成绅士? 斯斯文文,

有礼有仪? 难道你忘了, 大海的脾气?

By the Sea

— and two other poems

By the Sea

I walk beside the sea, hoping to discover a bottle drifting in, carrying news from far away.

But the bottle I brought with me is already stuffed full of longing…

Picking Up Stones

After enduring millions upon millions of washings by the sea, you have tempered yourself into such beauty and luster.

— Tell me the secret.

Go ask the sand along the shore.

Seaweed

Do you mean to dress the sea like a gentleman? So refined, so proper, so full of manners?

Have you forgotten the temper of the sea?
