編按:6月5日,本文作者於華盛頓藝術倶樂部(Arts Club of Washington)朗讀了悼念八九遇難者的中英詩詞,英詩加錄如下。
Distant Blessing for Mothers of the Silent Victims
For mothers whose gunless kid at a forbidden arena gunned to die…
For thy heart already been tearing down and chilling tear being dry
For a passion over 10,585 days, your pain’s been heard to be mine
For passage of twenty-nine years, a ruling gang has ruled only at “I”
For rejecting to let de dignified spirits back to a civilian-ship on line
For butchers pee at propaganda that inhouse laws not to be in trial
For the devil, endless fateful disasters shall rip upon his family side
For silent victims’ mothers, may our distant blessing fly to thou sky
[From Mass for Nanking‘s 1937. Washington: New Academia Publishing, 2016]
〈廿九年來魂魄溺〉──調寄蝶戀花
紫禁城前肝膽瀝,娃輩書生,餓諫燕歌澀。一夕罡風崩社稷,焚屍滅跡春秋識。
月落床前枯眼戚,油盡爹娘,喪子誰憐惜。廿九年來魂魄溺,鵑啼泣我詩腸辟。
〈斷層渠憂戚〉──調寄蝶戀花
猶記兒時流水筆,穿插科場,
夜夜殫精畢,
高考屈人慌失失,眠乾睡濕皮依骨。
容嘆此時臨斅席,袞袞英才,
汲汲謀官職,
何以疾書匤社稷,斷層風雅渠憂戚。 [4-2018]
〈京都翹楚匯〉──調寄浣溪沙
一夢兒時住屋邨,一家除夕飯團圓,一辭鄉里趁夷船。
一入京都翹楚匯,一緣適韻涉文淵,一依荷影飲山泉。
註:屋邨乃香港戰後興建之廉租屋/華夷之辯及船堅砲利之道乃百年來士人熱衷議題。
〈讀李兆良兄戊戌維新雙甲子春聯激懷〉
魂牽戊戌適卿家 一蹶維新剪落霞 圖挽乾坤憑熱血 舟横得月惜蓮華
〈弦歇鬱千愁〉
馬君弦歇鬱千愁 思掛老鄉罹劫讎 聰耳一眠埋彼岸 魂兮逆水汨東流
(*嘆馬思聰先生長眠彼岸他鄉)
〈粤韻三及抵〉
其一
年晚贖番單吊西 趕喉趕命落湯鷄 捱生捱死真唔抵 劏晒狗官先夠威
其二
隨口吹牛亂咗章 三杯落肚咬酸薑 成身過癮先離抖 臨瞓點香冲個涼
其三
做乜做人衰出頭 成朝走鬼褲優優 唔知面懵衰衰透 因住收場入監痞
其四
烏厘單刀又一年 一盅兩件做神仙 行山放屁伸拳腳
多士擰茶嘆下先 蛇羹菜仔雙腸飯 今晚上床唔衿氊
