Cloud
Written by: Sandra Cisneros
Translated by Shi Laiqing
If you are a poet, you will see clearly that there is a cloud floating in this sheet of paper.
——Thich Nhat Hanh
Before you became a cloud, you were an ocean, roiled and
murmuring like a mouth.
You were the shadows of a cloud crossing over a field of tulips.
You were the tears of a man who cried
into a plaid handkerchief.
You were the sky without a hat.
Your
heart puffed and flowered like sheets drying on a line.
And when you were a tree, you listened to the trees and the tree things trees told you.
You were the wind in the wheels of a red bicycle.
You were the spidery Mariatattooed on the hairless arm of a boy in downtown Houston.
You were the rain rolling off the waxy leaves of a magnolia tree.
A lock of straw-colored hair wedged between the mottled pages of a Victor Hugo novel.
A crescent of soap.
A spider the color of a fingernail.
The black nets beneath the sea of olive trees.
A skein of blue wool.
A tea saucer wrapped in newspaper.
An empty cracker tin.
A bowl of blue-berries in heavy cream.
White wine in a green-stemmed glass.
And when you opened your wings to wind, across the punched- tin sky above a prison courtyard, those condemned to death and those condemned to life watched how smooth and sweet a white cloud glides.

如果你是诗人，你会看到纸上浮云
——一行禅师
在你成为云之前，你是海洋一片，翻腾
潺潺如嘴
你是云影，飘过郁金香簇拥的田野
你是男人的眼泪哭喊
掩饰进彩格手帕
你是没戴帽子的天空
你的
心像拧干的被单，肿胀着 花朵着
而当你是树，你聆听树们和树们对你诉说的树事
你是红色自行车车轮生发的风
你是休斯敦市中心男孩无毛手臂上玛利亚塔图过的蜘蛛
你是滚落玉兰树蜡质树叶们的雨珠
你是夹在维克多·雨果小说斑驳书页间麦黄色发夹上的小锁
你是新月形的肥皂
你是指甲色的蜘蛛
你是橄榄树海洋底的黑网
一束蓝羊毛
一只报纸包着的茶杯托
一盒空空的薄脆饼干盒
一碗掺混浓奶油的蓝莓酱
绿茎图案装饰的一玻璃杯白葡萄酒
而当你迎风展翅，飞越监狱凿孔罐头似的上空，那些被判死刑和终身监禁的可怜虫观赏一片白云多么顺利和甜美地滑翔。
