许其正：读信

不知道是不是
因为情意太过深浓
以致感觉里，仿佛
每字每句
炙热烫人

也不知道是不是
因为字句炙热烫人
以致感觉里，仿佛
这信这笺
着火狂燃

更不知道是不是
因为信笺着火狂燃
以致感觉里，仿佛
我心我意
滚烫沸腾

Reading a Letter 　Hsu ChiCheng

I don’t know
Whether because there is so deep a love feeling
In this letter that I feel
As if each word in the letter is scalding to the touch

I don’t know
Whether because each word in the letter
Is so scalding to the touch
That I feel as if
The letter is burning

I don’t know
Whether because the letter is burning
That I feel
As if my mind
Is boiling
