ed into English by Diana Shi & George O’ConnellР Plant voicesР play silkily across the table.Р Like an infant standingР on a flaming scarlet lawn,Р pale as death.Р For the first time I hear a plant cry out.Р Under the orange lampshadeР a pair of deft, translucent handsР swim over,Р the knife keen.Р A pear skinned aloud!Р Fruit hangs from the branchesР free in the wind.Р Your knife turns elegantly,Р elegantly wounding,Р its huge shadow suddenlyР crossing one side of my body,РРР its live violence swimming out.Р I look closely at my hands.Р And the hands of those I love night and day.Р All ominous.Р But there are so many pears.Р The trees effortlesslyР swell and shake them down.Р On this earth so many pears,Р as soon as people see them, they cry thirst.Р 汉译英:黛安娜 乔 直
