他是一个爱芦苇的人

从小他便每日
和芦苇形影不离
采芦苇花当胡子
用芦苇茎做芦笛吹……
长大后更种起芦苇来
种得它们开出
雪白的芦苇花

在河岸
在河床
在他自己的头发上
在他自己的胡子上

The Man Who Loves the Reed　Hsu, ChiCheng

He is a man who loves the reeds

He could not get away from the reed
Since he was a child
He plucked the reed flowers to be his beard
He made a pipe of the reed

When he grew up
He planted the reed
Till they blossomed with the snowy flowers

On the bank and the base
Of the river
On the hair and the beard
Of himself
