Xiao Maxian: How to Live; Accidental

小玛仙诗两首《怎样生活》《意外》

  怎样生活
       小玛仙
磨刀
浇水
布衣粗食。

沉默
离开十字路口
和人群

羞涩
继续骄傲
和徒劳的孤单

深陷花香
骑马
和解一种毒药

是什么
你一说出
就会消失?

 How to Live
       by Xiao Maxian   tr. Fan Jinghua
Whetting,
Watering,
Course food and clothes.

Silent,
Away from crossroads
And crowds.

Shy,
Carrying on with pride
And futile loneliness.

Indulging in fragrance,
Riding a horse
And counterdosing a poison.

What is it
That ceases to be
Once you’ve said?

Comments: When asked about the difference after satori, a Buddhist master replies: Before, I shouldered water and swept the floor; after, I shoulder water and sweep the floor. This girl is a poet, and she is still what she has been.
极短评:大师说,得道前挑水扫地,得道后挑水扫地。这女人写了诗,依然依然。

  意外
第三个路口我遇到骗子、小偷和布道者
后来,遇到了骆驼和鱼群
鸽子飞来的时候我开始学会了仰头
原来天空已这么澄明

  Accidental
       by Xiao Maxian   tr. Fan Jinghua
At the third crossroad I met a trickster, a thief and a preacher
Later on, I saw camels and a school of fish
When doves fly by I am learning to raise my head to look up
The sky has already turned so clear

Comments: Three means many, each has its own way, and there are pleasure and pain in the sky, on the earth and under the water. My perspectives, upward or downward, front or back, to the left or the right, are all that I get.
极短评:三,又言多;人,各有各的道;海陆空,各自的苦乐;我的看法,前后上下左右,但看你如何看了。

她名字换的太多,没对上号...经你点评,感觉真是很好的女诗人 以亮
