 | 老猿∶拙诗第7次获美文学奖提名 |
| | 近年，我写了10余首题为“Y"的英文诗，且大多已被发表。今天上午因我的电脑在住院便在小儿子的电脑上浏览，得知第二首”Y"已获【湿雪杂志】向美国‘小推车’文学奖提名。因为这已是我第7次获得提名，对获奖之事早已失去了兴奋，剩下的只有淡然。对我而言，写诗乃是我个人的宗教！

原诗∶∶y
yes, yes, with your
yellowish skin, you enjoy
meditating within the shape of
a wishbone, inside the broken wing
of an oriental bird strayed, or
in a larger sense, you look like
the surfacing tail of a pacific whale
who yells low, but whose voice reaches afar
far beyond a whole continent, to a remote village
near the yellow river, where you used to sunbathe
rice stems, reed leaves, cotton skeletons
with a fork made of a single horn-shaped twig
when you were a barefooted country boy
on the other side of this new world
