給大家看一首小沙寫的詩以作酬謝。這是他去年去Mount Rainier玩後寫的(就是我寫的西北游三部曲同時)

Where Names Vanish Above the line of trees,

flowers bloom from a jumble of gravel,

lichen paints the stones vivid colors,

I watch a patch of snow become furry,

grow legs and walk.

I scramble along the rocky slope

in pursuit. I bend to the earth

where its hooves dug into mud,

inhale the odor of animal.

At the edge of a cliff I sit a moment,

tossing rocks off into the fog,

mist paints my flannel shirt white,

my breath blows in puffs, thins,

vanishes.

Soon, I'm hiking the trail

down into the forest, then

I'm in a car speeding along a narrow road,

the radio broadcasting news.

And when you pick up the map, point

to a line winding up a mountain, ask,

What's this trail like? I pause,

return to that place in the fog.

My mind scrambles for words -

those blunt instruments

that carve primitive statues

among the nameless stones

of thought.

The word rides my breath,

dissolves into air, vanishes

like a stone thrown into a cloud.

遙望山前失柳暗

碎石叢里映花明

飛雪如鴻曼飛舞

小沙悠然自踏青

登高憑欄拾階上

軟泥青荇味痕輕

斜倚危岩小憩罷

點點塵灰染繁星

尋徑林中行漸遠

斜路尤聞天籟聲

按圖借問曾何往？

翻身再覓仙境蹤

感夫此情曾何在

攜手老沙入夢縈

一曲難歌少年趣

餘音試問繞梁聲
