〈苜蓿〉
那散佈在
我們當中的,你稱之為
幸運的象徵*
儘管它就像我們
是雜草,是要
根除的東西——
是什麼邏輯
你收藏
單獨一根卷鬚
而要其他的
死?
若我們當中存在
如此強大,難道不該
讓它繁衍,服務
你珍愛的花園?
你該問自己
這些問題,
而非把疑問留給
受害者。你該知道
當你大搖大擺穿過我們
我聽見兩個聲音說話,
一是你的靈,另一
是你雙手所為。

What is dispersed
among us, which you call
the sign of blessedness
although it is, like us,
a weed, a thing
to be rooted out--
by what logic
do you hoard
a single tendril
of something you want
dead?
If there is any presence among us
so powerful, should it not
multiply, in service
of the adored garden?

You should be asking
these questions yourself,
not leaving them
to your victims. You should know
that when you swagger among us
I hear two voices speaking,
one your spirit, one
the acts of your hands.

* 苜蓿一般為三葉,偶有四葉的變種被視為幸運象徵,就是中文說的幸運草(只是在台灣我們通常好像是指酢漿草)。
