Story Content
English Original
Cold mud hugs Blythe's toes.
Morning light jumps between leaves.
A smooth flat rock waits near.
Blythe picks five wet pebbles.
She stacks them on the rock.
She wipes water from fingers.
Grit sticks on her palm.
The young fern brushes her elbow.
A writer watches birds across water.
Blythe whispers, "We talk later, birds."
The pebble stack tilts on first try.
One pebble slips and plops.
Water rings shake the tiny tower.
Blythe presses soft clay around base.
The tower stands straight again.
She smiles and steps back.
A bright leaf lands beside tower.
A water strider skims into view.
繁體中文 Translation
冰涼的泥巴貼著布萊絲的腳趾。
早晨的光線在樹葉間跳動。
一塊平滑的大石頭靜靜待在旁邊。
布萊絲拾起五顆濕潤的小石子。
她把石子堆在石頭上。
她把手上的水甩掉。
細小的沙粒黏在她的手心。
年輕的蕨葉輕刷她的手肘。
對岸一位作家正看著鳥。
布萊絲輕聲說：「鳥兒，我們等等再聊。」
小石塔在第一次嘗試就歪了。
一顆石子滑落並撲通聲響。
水面漣漪晃動小塔。
布萊絲用軟黏土壓住塔底。
石塔再度筆直站立。
她笑了並後退一步。
一片亮葉落在石塔旁。
一隻水黽滑過水面進入視線。
