蕃薯花之春/1.序曲,/吳正富(千手然)

                       蕃薯花之春

                  
1.序曲
           
                      雞鳴剛過,屋外黑濛濛,
                      今早有霧.

                      一盞燈下,
                      父親已在飯桌前吃飯.
                 
                      我趕緊梳洗完畢,
                      桌上有豆箕湯,油炸豆腐,落花生.
                      母親幫我煎一個荷包蛋.

                      吃完飯後,
                      父親前腳出門,我隨後即跟上.
                      
                       初春的早晨,
                       天色尚暗,寒氣深深,                      
                       一對漿白的卡其長褲與長袖,
                       已縮水成八分衣物,
                       罩上單層的夾克,身子忍不住打哆嗦,
                      
                       父親回頭一望,
                       "冷閒人"

                        前幾天,剛整完一壟一壟的,
                        今早是來壓蕃薯苗條.
         
                        父親的手腳很快,
                        我拼命追趕,總是差了半壟.
                        到了中午時分,總算把工作做完.
                        接著澆水,一棵一棵的澆,
                        回到家裡,時針指在1,分針指在2.
             
                        忙完了稻田,香蕉,蕃茄,高麗菜
                        得抽空來照顧這一畝蕃薯田,
                        施肥,除草,灌溉 .

                        我跟父親站在田頭,
                        望著綠油油的蕃薯葉,
                        開滿了一朵一朵粉紅中帶點紫色的小花
                        到處有蜜蜂在花上穿梭,
                        很美!

                        父親説
                        人ㄉㄟ講
                        "作牛愛拖,做人愛磨"*
                                     "你知悉否?"
                                    " ㄏㄡ˙!"

                                      *臺灣俚語
                                     做牛要拖,做人要磨
