2. Original poem: The Sound of Frogs?

《蛙聲》

小山上的齊賢樓二零八

是我們今晚過夜的地方。

她說我們還沒有這樣在外面留宿,

感覺就像度假。二樓落地窗對著小馬路

和夜里路邊雜草叢中的蛙聲。

我一生中第一次聽出,她也同意,

那不是一般的蛙叫,

而是它們在演奏音樂:最初,

是一支短曲,我沒聽出來,

然后我聽出第二支,稍長,

主要是那領頭的蛙聲,先是

從一側冒出來,緩慢而洪亮,

接著加快,越來越快,匯合整片蛙聲,

然后整片蛙聲沉寂,剩下它

收尾定音。隔一會兒

第三支升起,是長曲,

很長,總是在我預期要停的時候

繼續、繼續、繼續,直到我

再也聽不出它的整體結構

并昏昏入睡。
