銀月的诗
据说
銀月的光
是为有情人而舖照的
可否
能在这清冷的夜
留一小片
给愴惶而來的
醉漢
细飲
相思無叶红豆尽落时
恋歌是絲絲无声的夜風将千眼的
星夜
吹落
那漢子捲着
自己的長影
无語
一零年十二月十三日稿


Titan Arum
The titan arum or Amorphophallus titanum (from Ancient Greek amorphos, "without form, misshapen" + phallos, "phallus", and titan, "giant") is a flowering plant with the largest unbranched inflorescence in the world. (The largest single flower is borne by the Rafflesia arnoldii; the largest branched inflorescence in the plant kingdom belongs to the Talipot palm, Corypha umbraculifera). It thrives at the edges of rainforests near open grasslands. Though found in many botanic gardens around the world it is indigenous only to the tropical forests of Sumatra. Due to its odor, which is reminiscent of the smell of a decomposing mammal, the titan arum is also known as a carrion flower, the "Corpse flower", or "Corpse plant" (Indonesian: bunga bangkai – bunga means flower, while bangkai means corpse or cadaver; for the same reason, the same title is also attributed to Rafflesia which, like the titan arum, also grows in the rainforests of Sumatra).
The popular name titan arum was invented by the broadcaster and naturalist Sir David Attenborough, for his BBC TV series The Private Life of Plants, in which the flowering and pollination of the plant were filmed for the first time. Attenborough felt that constantly referring to the plant as Amorphophallus on a popular TV documentary would be inappropriate. In fact, most titan arum plants in cultivation were grown from seeds collected by Dr. James Symon and Wilbert Hetterscheid during filming.
