儿时的蝴蝶

文/于岚（美国）   

我还记得儿时的蝴蝶 

常常在我们的网中挣扎

或者在书页中夹的扁平

或者在镜框中一动不动地呆着 

我们总是希望把美

囚禁起来

把世界的美好

放在我们狭窄的心胸里

忘记了

世界多么大

多么可爱

当一切生命

都象蝴蝶一样

自由飞翔

Butterfly in My Childhood

Author / Lan Yu (USA)

I remember the butterfly in my childhood

Often struggles in our web

Or lies flat and dry between leaves of books

Or stands still in box of framed glass 

We tend to put beauty

Into its captivity

To possess the good things of the world

In our narrow frame of mind

Often, we forget

How big the world is

And how lovely when

All are free and flying

Like a butterfly
