POEMS BY LOMEN
羅門詩選*

THE SKY AND THE BIRD 天空與鳥

If the bird is not on the wing
What is up there in the sky?

In fact it is the sky
        Not the bird
It’s the sky that keeps flying
            Not the bird

The sky relegates all kinds of birdcages
                    To the morning parks
                Leaves millions of nests
                      In evening forests

It flies without stopping, following the horizon line
The sun and the moon are its wings
Night and day its shadow
All birds follow it for a time
Nobody knows how high it can fly
          Or how far
          Or how long
