眼睛


恋人之目：
黑而且美。

十一月，
狮子座的流星雨。

──纪弦『恋人之目』



他在空白的稿纸上
写下了一个大大的标题：
眼睛

她的眼睛
那双使他想起
聊斋志异里
迷倒过多少个白面书生的
眼睛

几个世纪过去了
那双迷人的
想对他说什麽的眼睛
便这样在稿纸上同他痴痴对视
狐狸糊涂

今天早上他就着晨光
在床上翻读《纪弦精品》
猛然省悟
原来所有黑而且美
属於恋人们的眼睛
都像沙滩上的贝壳
老早被这位住在海边
每天起个大早的爱美的诗人
捡去分门别类统计归纳
然後用寥寥的十八个大字
加上几个标点
向专利局提出登记
注册商标去了

EYES

Lovers’ eyes:
black and beautiful.

November,
Leo’s meteor shower.
---Lovers’ Eyes by Ji Xian


last night he wrote on a blank sheet of paper a big big title:
EYES

her eyes
reminded him of those charming eyes
that infatuated so many fair-complexioned young scholars
in ancient bizarre ghost stories

several centuries had since passed
and those enchanting eyes
that should have something to say to him
now just stared at him in a stupor
on the blank sheet

this morning as he was reading
the Collected Best Poems by Ji Xian
it suddenly dawned on him
that those lovers’ eyes
black and beautiful
must have all been gathered
like shells on the beach
by the beauty-loving early-rising poet who lives near the ocean

and after passionate and extensive studies
Ji Xian must have obtained a patent on the writing of eyes
with a poem of nine words
and some punctuation marks
