《心怡的喧鬧》某種雙人舞讀法
昨天去書林聽游珮芸老師的新書發表：《宮崎駿動畫的文法》，順便在書林買到 Joyful Noise!
聽說有人對「得獎作品」很有意見。希望這些人不會錯過這本有趣的詩/書。還有 Eric Beddows 的精美插畫。
這本書原來還可以當劇本念呀！
像歌劇
也像 Caryl Churchill 的劇本 .....
真有音樂性！
應該讓耍寶的白目姊妹玩，或是讓合唱團團員唱一唱。
例如這樣的一首詩：
Mayflies
Your moment
Mayfly month
Your hour
Mayfly year
Your trifling day
Our life
We’re mayflies We are mayflies
just emerging just emerging
rising from the river,
born this day in May
birthday
and dying day,
this particle of time
this single sip of living
all that we’re allowed.
We’re mayflies We’re mayflies
by the millions by the millions
fevered
frenzied
rushed
no redwood’s centuries
to squander as we please.
We’re mayflies We’re mayflies
swarming, swerving, swarming, swerving,
rising high
then falling,
courting on the wing,
then matching in midair.
We’re mayflies We’re mayflies
laying eggs laying eggs
our final, frantic act.
Sun’s low
light’s weak
in haste we launch them
down the stream.
We’re mayflies We’re mayflies
lying dying lying dying
floating by the millions
on the very stream
from which we sprung
so very long ago
this morning
back when we were back when we were
young. young.
