许其正：种子的愿望

我是一颗饱熟的种子

曾经将咸涩的血汗当蜜汁

不停地在孤独的熔炉里

煅烧、熔铸、修炼……

请风代为传播，还有

鸟雀，当然也加上

我的自发迸撒

到不管什么天涯海角……

尽管黑不溜丢

尽管小得不引人注目

尽管不长袖善舞，招蜂引蝶

会辣，再小都是辣椒！

贫瘠会成为丰硕

沙漠会化为绿洲

对这，我有无比的信心

愿你心中那朵欣喜也常绽放！

The Wish of Seeds 　Hsu ChiCheng

I am a mature seed

Which has ever taken salty and bitter blood and sweat as honey

In the furnace of loneliness

I am on the burning, smelting, austerities practicing …

Let the wind be my messenger, and

The birds, and of course

I myself

To anywhere including the end of the earth …

In spite of my unprepossessing appearance

In spite of my smallness

In spite of my estrangement from dancing and drawing bees & butterflies

A hot pepper is hot, no matter how small it is!

Poverty can turn into wealth

A desert can turn into an oasis

Of this, I am confident

I hope the blossom in your heart will blossom forever!
