WOOD By Naomi Shihab Nye
 
The silence of a desk
is good to return to
after conversations with human beings
where sentences went up
and some went down.
   
The drawers in the desk
are smaller than the drawers of the heart
but more predictable.
If you place something here,
it will be waiting when you get back.
 
Hard to imagine the heart begin so plain,
holding no more than what it is given
when all around the earth stretches out
its giant fields.
     
The heart coasts through fields, gathering.
The heart comes and goes like a crow.
     
When the desk waits in the room
where light and dark revolve so quietly
it is as if nothing happens, as if the shadow sleeping inside the wood
slides out for a few hours
and folds in again, still empty.
   
As if the papers with words on them
were written by wood that, slowly,
would last that long.

✔ 最佳答案
我覺得這首詩是作者透過木桌子表達失去愛人的感情。


 「The silence of a desk is good to return to
after conversations with human beings 」

是說回到桌子的感覺真好,可能作者剛剛跟別人
吵架,回到自己的房間,寫日記什麼的
---where sentences went up and some went down.

 

然後她提到抽屜 - drawers 
她認為抽屜很小,但較別人的心較易捉摸,
可能是說她愛人的心難捉摸吧!

「If you place something here,
it will be waiting when you get back. 」

如果我們放東西進抽屜, 那些東西會等我們回來,
暗示作者向她愛人的心付出,但愛人不等她
 
Hard to imagine the heart begin so plain,
holding no more than what it is given
when all around the earth stretches out

作者不相信愛人的心什麼也沒有


The heart coasts through fields, gathering.
The heart comes and goes like a crow.

那顆心 沿岸航行,像烏鴉來去無蹤
    
When the desk waits in the room
it is as if nothing happens,


當作者回到房間 --- 木桌子   
好像什麼也沒發生,很空洞


As if the papers with words on them
were written by wood that, slowly,
would last that long.

紙上好像用木頭寫上了字,永遠是那個樣子




首詩給我的感覺是淒美,我感受到作者的無奈、空虛,
她的房子只有一張木桌,她很孤單, 別人不等她了,她的過去像木雕一樣寫在紙上了。

腦海浮現了一間很暗很暗的房間,裡面坐著一個女孩,在木桌寫東西,窗外有海,有烏鴉...........
