中歲溫吞的月光下妳試著閉眼
聆聽海草靜默搖擺的慢速
銀光水母在透明的夜色洄游
在潮線上就用海沙撫出山巒好了
起伏的故事我們說了再說
聽了再聽﹐足印底下
沙灘的自由像妳我胸口的輕觸一樣熟稔
因我們習於暗示﹐低低的
晚雲掩映晦昧的風聲雨濕
魚群滑過藻叢
水鴨落下海口沙洲的灣岸
夜的彎曲用呼吸輕輕地數去
我確信遠海的火光之後燃著
一些飄流的柔軟的傳說
因為同頻﹐濕潤的眸光始終閉著
我們握指聽潮水打溫柔的起落
聽不清的都是心跳的回聲

Meeting at Night
The grey sea and the long black land;
And the yellow half-moon large and low;
And the startled little waves that leap
In fiery ringlets from their sleep,
As I gain the cove with pushing prow,
And quench its speed i' the slushy sand.
Then a mile of warm sea-scented beach;
Three fields to cross till a farm appears;
A tap at the pane, the quick sharp scratch
And blue spurt of a lighted match,
And a voice less loud, thro' its joys and fears,
Than the two hearts beating each to each!
Robert Browning
