祝你有一張吊網床


有了一張吊網床
便滿天陽光滿眼清涼

馬雅人的甜夢
在兩棵綠樹間擺蕩

有了一張吊網床
便滿城燈火滿臉驚惶

懼高者的噩夢
在兩棟摩天大樓間擺蕩

注：南美洲的馬雅 (Maya)人至今仍睡在吊網床上。「祝你有 一張吊網床」是他們的日常問候語。


HAVE A HAMMOCK


bright sunshine above
cool grass below
swinging between two trees
a sweet Mayan dream

dark sky above
a sea of lights below
swinging between two skyscrapers
an acrophobe’s nightmare

*The Maya still sleep in hammocks between two trees.
”Have a hammock” is their daily greeting.
