2. Original poem: The Sound of Frogs?

《蛙聲》

小山上的齊賢樓二零八

是我們今晚過(guò)夜的地方。

她說(shuō)我們還沒(méi)有這樣在外面留宿,

感覺(jué)就像度假。二樓落地窗對(duì)著小馬路

和夜里路邊雜草叢中的蛙聲。

我一生中第一次聽(tīng)出,她也同意,

那不是一般的蛙叫,

而是它們?cè)谘葑嘁魳?lè):最初,

是一支短曲,我沒(méi)聽(tīng)出來(lái),

然后我聽(tīng)出第二支,稍長(zhǎng),

主要是那領(lǐng)頭的蛙聲,先是

從一側(cè)冒出來(lái),緩慢而洪亮,

接著加快,越來(lái)越快,匯合整片蛙聲,

然后整片蛙聲沉寂,剩下它

收尾定音。隔一會(huì)兒

第三支升起,是長(zhǎng)曲,

很長(zhǎng),總是在我預(yù)期要停的時(shí)候

繼續(xù)、繼續(xù)、繼續(xù),直到我

再也聽(tīng)不出它的整體結(jié)構(gòu)

并昏昏入睡。
