非馬漢英雙語詩〈没有脉膊的人〉刊登於《芝加哥時報》2025.9.5

〈没有脉膊的人〉

洶湧衝擊的波浪

終於成了

涓

涓

細

流

日夜繞著一塊頑石

洗刷安撫

臉不紅

心不跳

*幾年前，曾助成伊拉克戰爭的前副總統迪克·切尼的胸腔內被植入了一個心臟泵，取代心臟的功能，但沒有脈搏。

A MAN WITH NO PULSE

crashing waves

now become

a steady stream

winding around a rock

day and night

polishing and pacifying

no more pounding

no more blushing

*Several years ago,  a heart pump was implanted in the chest of former Vice President Dick Cheney who played a big role in launching a war against Iraq. The pump was supposed to take over the function of the heart, but produce no pulse.
