川沙诗歌《诗人永远在栅栏里》赏析(2)

　　诗人永远在栅栏里

　　诗人永远在栅栏里
　　诗人永远在草坪那边的木板栅栏里

　　诗人的目光
　　诗人的目光穿过窗外灰色的木板栅栏
　　穿过木板栅栏前面的夹竹桃林
　　他的目光穿过那些缝隙看外面喧闹的天空
　　他看那些能够长大的小孩
　　日日月月年年
　　他看那些小孩长成大人
　　看他们渡过远处的河流
　　他看太阳出来又落下
　　看月亮出来又落下
　　他听教堂的钟声叮叮当当响亮
　　他看他们在河对岸的集镇上和
　　背枪的猎人
　　提秤杆的商人
　　戴眼镜的当铺掌柜
　　他看他们在欢快做事
　　做那些
　　他不懂的
　　不喜欢的
　　害怕的事情

　　诗人长大了
　　诗人的身体长大了
　　诗人的心永远在阁楼里

　　诗人永远在栅栏里
　　诗人永远在阁楼顶上的书本里看
　　看木板栅栏外面远处的世界
　　他从阁楼顶上发黄的布面精装书的插图里看
　　看他前面的诗人们
　　都一个个从阁楼顶上的窗口看世界

　　他看
　　那些长大的他们在河对岸的集镇上和
　　背枪的猎人
　　提秤杆的商人
　　戴眼镜的当铺掌柜
　　他看他们在欢快做事

　　35) Poet inside the Fence

　　The poet is inside the fence, forever
　　And forever he is inside the fence beyond the lawn

　　The poet's gaze
　　The poet's gaze reaches the gray wooden fence outside the window
　　Then the bamboo and peach bushes in front of the fence
　　Through the gaps he looks up into the noisy sky
　　And at the children who will surely grow up
　　With each passing day, or month, or year
　　He will see them grow up and see them
　　Cross the river far away

　　He sees the sun rise and set in
　　And the moon appear and disappear
　　He listens to the church bell ringing
　　While on the river's other side the town market comes to life
　　The hunters with rifles
　　The businessmen with scales
　　The pawn shop owner with a pair glasses
　　He sees them busy with joy
　　Doing all that
　　He does not understand
　　Does not like at all
　　And is afraid of

　　The poet has grown up
　　Physically, yet his heart is locked
　　In the attic forever

　　The poet is inside the fence forever
　　And forever he stays in the attic reading
　　And looking at the world beyond the fence
　　He reads the faded colored clothed books and the pictures
　　That he finds in the attic, and he sees the poets before him
　　Looking too at the world from the attic

　　He sees those who grow up
　　And busy themselves in the market on the other side of the river
　　The hunters with rifles
　　The businessmen with scales
　　The boss with glasses on
　　Excited, busy, and happy
