風車

■風車　◎ 陳寧貴

阿母戴等笠麻
頭巾矇等面
淨露出兩隻
佇恁辣日頭下
晶鬧鬧介目珠
佢將禾穀一畚箕一畚箕
倒入風車漏斗肚

阿爸佇一片
滿面既經分日頭烤到紅啾啾喲
佢用力轉動風車
蓋像同風車佇介走相逐

一粒粒
像黃金介禾穀
適風車出口流出來咧

蓋像係
一粒粒
金黃色介
血汗

附記：風車也稱風鼓車或風箱，為一木製篩除稻穀雜質之農具，左上方為一狀似漏斗之物，下方為一斜形似抽屜之物，右方則為一圓形風鼓箱；從田裡收割經過曬乾後的稻穀，經由上方漏斗放入，再經搖動風鼓箱，莖、葉、蟲、塵土等細小雜物就會從左邊出口排出，留下精實的稻穀，會從斜形抽屜落出。

農忙時，那雙在艷陽下，頭巾也矇不住的發亮眼眸，是我一輩子忘不了的，眼睛裡閃爍著，對期待豐收的強烈亮光，也蘊藏著為生活拼鬥的狠勁。

艷陽下閃閃發亮的，還有農人們 一身泛濫的汗珠，它們似乎已被陽光煮得滾燙，而在皮膚上跳躍著。被烤得微焦的皮膚上，似乎也散發出榖粒的芳香。

風車迅速轉動，攪動繁忙的收穫季，整個農村被熱鬧的麻雀聲包圍住，他們像在喊著加油啊加油啊！

飽滿金黃的禾榖一畚箕一畚箕，倒入風車漏斗裡面，從風車出口流出來之際，我看見的是，晶瑩剔透的血汗啊！

唐秉輝 的評論
This nice poem reminds me another poem that I had memorized when I was a child, just
because I liked it, as much as I like this. It's by WWII poet Don Blanding, from his poem collection entitled Pilot Bails Out.

I had totally forgotten it, yet as I read this poem, it came refreshing back to me. It will be interesting if I post it here to share with the poet, Mr. Chen, and all as following:

Here marks the place where a good friend stood
And did the things that he said he would.
Scattered my ashes, the wind diffused them--
But while they were me, God knows I used 'em.
