詩佮俠客

[張德本]

詩人毋是人類的一種行業

詩人敬畏天地參與儀式的時代
詩屬於遠古 部落
詩人放浪天涯雲遊四海的時代
詩屬於自然 原野
詩人古鱉呵咾君王歡喜的時代
詩屬於帝國 玩物
詩人屈服媒體追求名利的時代
詩屬於消費 產品

詩人敬畏因為天地廣闊
詩人放浪因為本性如此
詩人古鱉因為自嘲諷刺
詩人屈服因為人性軟弱

雖然詩人一向毋是人類的一種行業
但是詩若有光彩一定照光詩人活過的黑暗
佇暗夜點歷史的燈展現氣魄
佇暗夜點未來的燈證實遠見
生命妥協
詩卻是袂容允少寡妥協
俠客的精氣神嘛是如此！

詩人猶原毋是人類的一種行業的
今仔日
俠客早已封劍絕筆
詩頁漸漸黃泛起斑
銳劍隱藏燻銀的閃光

[Catherine Yen]

Poetry and Chivalry

Poet, an industry not of Mankind

An era that poet’s in awe to participate a rite
Poetry belongs to the ancient tribe
An era that poet’s dissolute and roaming
Poetry ascribes to nature and wildness
An era that poet praised in comic to entertain the king
Poetry is the plaything of an empire
The era that poet yields to the media, pursuing fame and fortune
Poetry is the consuming product

Poet holds in awe since the heaven and earth are vast
Poet’s degenerated because of his nature
Poet’s comical because ironical the self derision
Poet capitulates because of human’s weakness

Although poet hasn’t always been an industry of mankind
Its luster would shine upon the darkness that poet ever survived
Lighting a light in darkness of history and showing its courage
Lighting a light in darkness of future and proving its foresight
Compromised the life
But allows not to compromise of poetry
The spirit and vitality of a chivalry is the case

Poet , still not an industry of mankind
Today
The chivalry has sealed his sword and pen
The page of poetry gradually stained and spotted yellow
The sharp sword conceals a smoked silver flash
