創造者的眼睛
寫作的喜悦
保存的力量
人類之手的復仇
──辛波絲卡
這世界乃我所創造
但我未能目睹它的誕生
那重要時刻，你躡足
走來，伸手掩著我的眼睛
猜猜，我是誰
我猛然轉過身來
寧願讓我的受造物
各歸其位，或各自消遁
也要擁抱你，和被你擁抱
但，你是 誰呢
你那雙惡作劇的可愛的小手
此刻又掩著誰，那一位
創造者的眼晴
Creators’ Eyes
The joy of writing
The power of preserving
Revenge of a mortal hand
－Szymborska
This world is my creation
yet I did not witness its birth
that crucial moment, you tiptoed
over, reached around and covered my eyes
Guess who
I whipped myself around
I would have my creations
each resume its place, or disparate
that I could hug you, and be hugged
But, who are you
and who are your tricky, adorable little
hands blindering right now, that other
creator’s eyes
(Translated by Canaan Morse)
