每天讀一點(diǎn)英文:那些年那些詩 50 創(chuàng)作

Invention
Billy Collins
Tonight the moon is a cracker,
with a bite out of it
floating in the night,
and in a week or so
according to the calendar
it will probably look
like a silver football,
and nine, maybe ten days ago
it reminded me of a thin bright claw.
But eventually --
by the end of the month,
I reckon –
it will waste away
to nothing,
nothing but stars in the sky,
and I will have a few nights
to myself,
a little time to rest my jittery pen.
創(chuàng)作
比利.科林斯
今晚的月亮是塊
被咬掉一口的薄脆餅干
飄飄蕩蕩浮在夜天，
按照日歷
約莫一周時(shí)間
它看似大概會
象個(gè)銀色的橄欖球，
而九天, 或許十天之前
它使我想起一個(gè)薄明的蟹鉗.
可漸漸地--
到這個(gè)月底
我推斷—
它將消瘦至
身影全無
天上只留繁星點(diǎn)點(diǎn)，
而對我自己來說
會有幾個(gè)夜晚
讓我極度緊張的筆得以休閑。
