白玉苦瓜
--看台北故宮博物馆的玉雕


什麼苦都吃得
善烹飪的妻
卻總把苦瓜我的舊愛
排在菜單之外

只好透過詩頁
透過空間阻隔的玻璃
讓這用時間的文火
徐徐煨成的佳肴
鮮美誘動舌尖
去裸泳
津津的記憶


Viewing the Jade Bitter Gourd at the Palace Museum in Taipei
Despite their sweet aftertaste
my wife refuses to include bitter gourds
in her menu

Standing in front of the glass case
I watch my favorite delicacy
simmer in the slow flames of time
while the tip of my tongue
swims ★违反论坛条例！★
