《猫的勇气》散文诗

猫的勇气

　　如果身高达十层楼的生物指着我——仅仅看着，看着那小小的爪子，是雄性还是雌性，它们毕竟都相似

　　而在那里的夏天的草丛上，我们坐在它们的周围，仿佛在晒日光浴，普拉顿，一个瘦削的木匠，还有我，它们的影子在我们眼里形成，走过建筑物——然而很慢、很轻，因此没有用它们那具有权威的脚踩倒我们

　如果它们指着我，呼唤我，驱逐我，不断把石头投向我，并且消除我，用两米长的手拍打我的身侧，然后……

　然而它们，它们甚至会嫉妒我——看吧，多么独立、准确的动作，多么骄傲的小人国的鬃毛

看吧，这怎样来来往往

THE COURAGE OF CATS

　　If creatures ten stories high pointed at me——just look，look at that tiny little paw，is it male or female，after all they are all alike

　　And we would sit around them there on the summer grass，as if sunbathing，Platon，a thin carpenter，and I，their images forming in our eyes，walking buildings —— but slowly，gently，so as not to trampleus down with their authoritative feet

　　If they pointed at me，called me，sent me away，kept pelting me with stones，and cured me，patting my side with hands two meters long， then …

　　but they，they would even envy me--look，what independent，precise movements，what a proud，Lilliputian mane

　　look，how it comes and goes
