William Marrs bilingual poem To Paint A Bird appeared in Chicago Chinese News, 2024.10.25

 

〈給一隻鳥畫像〉

那邊歪

反正牠不當

脫衣弄姿的模特

 

就在你擠顏料調色眯眼比劃

剛要落筆的時候

嘩地一聲飛走了

撇下

一樹的

beckoning to this and that

finally you are ready to start

just then she flaps her wings

and takes off

leaving behind

a tree of
