布魯克林，紐約
--Sitor Situmorang (1924- )，羅浩原 譯

百萬噸的扭曲
化為橋的雙曲線

矗立在惠特曼的想像上
矗立在印地安人的幢幢幻影上

在大草原上
在美洲


Brooklyn, New York
--Sitor Situmorang (1924- )

Berjuta ton terpilin
jadi hyperbola jembatan

tegak di atas khayal Walt Whitman
dan angan-angan orang Indian

di padang-padang rumput
Amerika.


Brooklyn, New York
--Sitor Situmorang (1924- ), translated by John H. McGlynn

Millions of tons of coiled wire
form the span's hyperbola

erect upon Walt Whitman's dreams and
visions of the Indians

on the grass-covered plains of
America
