攸步〈冬之舞〉
我半夜起來小解。
月光滿室:
雲鱗樹影,巨鳥的翅膀散亂、游移。
我看見穿過浴室的牆壁
一節淡黃色的車廂輕搖、靜謐……
那是年少時代的我們
正從遠方歸來,
一個個東倒西歪,在車廂裡筋疲力竭。
現在,是幾點了?
這些孩子們,正駛向落日
又好像是從晨光中剛剛醒來。
我搖了搖頭,
提醒自己:這不過是個夢,
要借著霜濃的夜色
將我帶走,
在記憶中永遠湮沒,永遠停留。
我回到臥室,在寂靜中躺下;
冬夜已十分寒冷。
憂傷的鐘擺催促我再次入睡。
我漸漸看到:冬夜中
一些白色活潑的精靈
正從我的呼吸出發,
踏上穿越黑夜的茫茫旅途。
他們在結滿冰花的窗上跳著舞蹈,
追逐著時光,
在綠油油的田野上
像一隊春哥兒高聲叫鬧,
驅趕著盤繞不散的看不見的死亡。

寒冬夜半,半夢半醒之間,想起年少往事,如一面鏡映著此時的自己。「現在,是幾點了?」不只是問著孩提時的自己,也是自問此生走到了何種時分。生與死的意象交織:「正駛向落日」、「從晨光中剛剛醒來」,而「我」正是生命列車裡那疲倦不已的孩子。
「我」或許已近暮年,時常惦念往日美好,回憶彷彿哄勸著,要「將我帶走」,永遠沉眠於美夢之中。在毫無生機的寒冬,鐘擺聲聽來就像催促著、提醒著時間,讓人更感憂傷。
「呼吸」卻是依然活著的證明,白色精靈也讓人聯想到低溫時經常呼出的白煙,象徵著生機。白色精靈之舞,在冬日裡帶來一片春日光景,那麼熱鬧而生機勃勃。〈冬之舞〉讓人想起 Robert Frost〈Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening〉,在尋常生活的片刻恍惚之中,望見生命走向衰微卻依然熾熱的火光。

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
BY ROBERT FROST
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
