Mandalay, Myanmar 缅甸曼德勒 : 曼德勒的早晨 A Morning In Mandalay


曼德勒的早晨

曼德勒的早晨
在皇宫前漫游
清晰的水潭上
复制岸边景色
犹如连体婴儿
永远不离不弃

曼德勒的清晨
在菜市场游荡
多彩的香料粉
像彩色的山丘
运出阵阵香气
让人垂涎欲滴

曼德勒的市场
挤满熙熙攘攘
川流不息的人
头顶着层层的
巨大的竹篮子
穿梭于蔬果中

A Morning In Mandalay

A morning in Mandalay
I leisurely strolled along 
the palace moat-side walkways
savouring the mirror-like waters
duplicating the scenery at the bank

The morning in Mandalay
I wandered into the market place
thrilled by the colourful spices
in clusters of coloured hills
pervading a tantalizing fragrance

The Mandalay wet market
with throngs of bustling shoppers
squeezing through the incessant flow
hopping among the vegetable stalls
balancing giant bamboo baskets on their heads

Before leaving Mandalay, I strolled along the palace moat and the wet market. The palace moat was beautiful in the morning, with the locals doing exercise at the walkway. The market though messy and noisy is an interesting spot to behold. I was attracted by the colours of spices sold there. It is beautiful.
