Birdcall

Written in Chinese by Cheng Xiangyang

Translated into English by Cui Yuwei

  

early morning      a bird in the magnolia tree calls out first

followed by other birds

loud and low calling sounds mingled

between times      the magpies and crows jump out of the branches

sounding loud

and low

I also learn to call

they're looking at me

as if I'm a stupid bird

《叫喚》

程向陽

  

清晨 是玉蘭樹上的那壹只鳥最先叫的

然後是其他的鳥

高壹聲低壹聲 叫喚

偶爾 枝頭喜鵲烏鴉跳出來

高壹聲低壹聲

在叫喚

我也學著叫喚

它們看我

像在看壹只笨鳥
