芦花荡

陵 邪

走下徐缓的斜坡。

芦花荡，一群泅水的野鸭

折叠在湖面。空气微醺，

天色已贴近你新鲜的橘色裙摆。

在枝头，两枚桑葚如微薄的唇瓣

泛着低烧。山风越走越近，

一棵歪脖树垂下身姿，倚吻湖光。

我也试图用这样的方式接近你。

须臾间，我们的目光被高空的纸鸢

牵扯，直至落霞在远山的眉黛

轻描淡写地纹上一笔，四野阒然。

两个疲惫的侧影，在傍晚彼此相对。

一直无从得知车轨的去向，铁质

的音律似乎潜藏某种情绪，拒人千里。

小雨过后，空气带着电流的回温。

你哈出一口冷气，薄雾晾成露水。

这纷扰纠缠的时令，将旧伤口

不断豁开，注入人间的新生。

The Cattail Shallow

by Ling Xie

Going down the gentle slope.

In a cattail shallow, a flock of diving ducks

overlie the lake. The air feels slightly intoxicating.

The sky hangs down, almost touching your bright orange skirt.

On the tip of a twig, two mulberries flush

like delicate lips. The mountain wind is pushing in.

A crooked-neck tree bends over to kiss the lake’s reflection.

I try to do the same to you.

Soon, our gaze is tugged by a kite

high in the sky until sunset graces the mountain brow

with a touch of blackish brown, then all is quiet.

At dusk, two worn silhouettes stand before each other.

The rail tracks, going who-knows-where, has a metallic pulse

with some kind of murmur, always keep to themselves.

After a light rain, the electrified atmosphere warms up.

You puff into the cold air, mist turns to dew.

This bestirring season opens the old wounds

wide and wider, and injects a new vitality to the interlaced world.

陵邪，在校学生，喜爱文字，作品散见于《青春诗刊》。闲暇无聊时写些胡思乱想，生活随风，始之于诗。
