Lion in the Cage
By Michelle Reisdorf

A lion on the deck
His Golden hair is stained with dust
He strolls ，to and fro
Bows his head，no roar
Puffs and blows，instead

Hurricane sweeps over the blackish green waves
Spindrifts float and
Draw the Early-Spring’s chill
Looking at the sky, he is prostrate and shaking

Be moved from place to place, year in and year out
In his dreams ，Forest gradually blurred, no doubt
The master cracks his whip
backward and forward with ease——
That’s him ——living with old scars and new wounds

Now，Lone night，starry sky
What does he await in the cage？——
It is only a lie
Boundless，the world
Homeless，his fate

笼中之狮

甲板上有一只狮子
一身金毛粘满了尘埃
他低着头来回蹀踱
偶尔几声沉重的喘息

飓风扫过墨绿的海面
一卷浪花扑了过来
抛下早春的严寒
望着苍天，他伏地，颤栗

颠簸流离已是经年
梦中的森林渐渐迷离
驯兽者的细鞭且长且短
舔着旧疤又添新痕

夜已寂寥星空浩瀚
笼中之狮能有何求？
天无尽头，地无涯
却逃不出他乡
