Riding Across the Atlantic from Bermuda(从百慕大横渡大西洋)
2024-08-09 National Hand Holding Day
【Long Tale】
Nancy Anne Miller
The kiskadee, with a yellow
Waistcoat, is full of himself.
White streaks on his face
The stuff of action heroes.
The bolts of electricity
As if heat shocked from
Flying too close to the sun.
The robins in their burlap
Rags, hop, hop to the day's
Crumbs, like I did in sack
Races at BHS. I mimic
The longtail, burrow myself
In a room on cliffs above
The greeting sea, in the long
Tale of my returning, leaving
Each year at summer's end.

【《长篇故事》】
(百慕大)恩典·仁慈·米勒“磨坊主”
【红霞译】
蝇霸鹟，身穿黄色
背心，自命不凡。
脸上的白色条纹
功夫英雄的标志。
闪电般的光芒
一如热袭
肆意挑战。
知更鸟披着粗麻
破衣，跳上当日的
八卦消息，就像我在
百慕大高中参加麻袋赛跑。我模仿
长尾鸟，把自己藏在
悬崖上的屋子里
俯瞰大海，久远
流传我的归来，离别
总在每年夏末。
【注】从英属百慕大“勇气”返航美国新泽西“草”明显感觉出盛行风和洋流的挑战，好在有5,000人坐镇“皇家加勒比‘勇者’·海洋自由”号(Royal Caribben Libery of the Seas)游轮，退修会、室内乐、歌舞剧、魔术秀、艺术展、拍卖场、健身房、游戏室、娱乐城、游泳池、漂流河、冲浪滩、水疗吧、温泉浴等精彩纷呈，最后一天的日子匆匆太匆匆。
