临江仙 · 牙痛

蔡世平

五十生齿病，夜不能寐，悲从中来。因忆三年困难时期，春天，母亲领我去洞庭湖边挖鸡米（一种野菜，开黄色小花，其根植于湖泥里，剥皮后可生吃、熟吃，味甜而微涩）充饥。嫩齿咬新根，香犹在舌。

牵手母亲湖上去，黄花黑土蓝田。

草根粗细齿堪怜。

嘴边鸡米汁，犹觉一春甜。

咽雨餐风人五十，而今齿动须坚。

如何好梦慰娘眠？

霜天欺落叶，难嚼五更寒。

Toothache

—To the Tune of Riverside Fairy

By CAI Shiping

Tr. ZHAO Yanchun

I suffered a lot from toothache at the age of fifty, sleepless all night. So sad, I recall the “Three Years (1959-1961) of Natural Disasters” in China. One spring, Mother took me to Dongting Lake to dig chicken rice to quench our hunger. (Chicken rice is a kind of potherb with small yellow flowers, rooted in the mud of a lake. It can be eaten raw or cooked after being peeled, and it tastes sweet and slightly astringent.) I bit the new roots with my young teeth, and their aroma is still on my taste buds.

Mother and I reached the lake hand in hand,

Blossoms yellow, bed green and soil black.

Grassroots thick or thin, leaves biting, alack.

Chicken rice juice stuck to my lips,

A sense of spring, what a sweet smack!

Fifty years through slashes of wind and rain,

My teeth not solid, beard stiffly black.

How I wish Mum slept well, no fret, no hack!

The frosty sky bullies dried leaves;

The morning cold does my soul rack.
