[創作] Ten Ways of Listening to the Eagle

[yuuyh (沼澤人)]

Ten Ways of Listening to the Eagle
(An imitation of Stevens' "Thirteen Ways of Looking at the Blackbird")


1

Along ten clamorous streets,
the only sound I hear
is the voice of an eagle.


2

Within the gyre
of the eagle's soaring,
all sounds are but
one cry.


3

Inside, the mad composer craving
inspiration for polyphony.

Outside, the eagle flying to and fro,
crying, crying.


4

Opening the window, she catches the eagle flying,
thinking that she hears the sound of the eagle.

She doesn't notice someone closes the door.


5

On hearing that eerie sound,
he closes his door at once,
and puts on his headphone,
fearing with
unknown reasons.


6

After the cry, the boy said, "the eagle is sad."
After the cry, the girl said, "the eagle is happy."

After the cry, mom said, "let's go."


7

The eagle swims into the distant light,
and disappears.

Do I hear the sound of the cry,
or merely its echoes?


8

In the cage,
the eagle sits on the artificial branch,
coldly staring people
coming to and fro,
crying for its
cry.


9

After the cry,
the edge of the ripple sways
on and on.


10

The eagle whirling in the dawn,
The rest is silence.

因為系上某門課的作業，是要寫一首詩的imitation
於是便選了Wallace Stevens的黑鳥詩，然後作了這首...

恩，第一次PO自己的作品...
