许其正：火焰山前

一再地用力顿足踹地

我仍然不住怀疑我脚踏的是实地

是否我仍在雾濛濛的西游记里

跟随孙行者云游四方？

当证实牛魔王和铁扇公主是子虚

我才恍然小说作家的惊人想像

In Front of Flame Mountain Hsu ChiCheng

Stepping heavily on the ground with all my strength

I wondered if the spot I stood on was a real land

As if I was roaming from place to place

With the Monkey King in Pilgrimage to the west

When the Bull Fiend and the Iron-fan Princess were confined no-existent

I suddenly saw the light of the Novelist’s wonderful imagination@
