中午
全世界的人都在剔牙
以潔白的牙簽
安詳地在
剔他們
潔白的牙齒
依索匹亞的兀鷹一群
從一堆屍體中
飛起
排排蹲在
疏朗的枯樹上
也在剔牙
以一根根瘦小的
肋骨
Picking Teeth /poem by Luo Fu,
trans by Anna yin
At noon
People of the world
All are coolly and quietly
Picking their shiny teeth
With the fresh toothpicks
White and clean
A gang of Ethiopian vultures
Flying up from a field of corpses
And landing on sparse dead branches
Leisurely line by line
Also pick their beaks
On thin ribs
One after another
