【旅行記事本】海邊的加州旅館
遇見陽光的午后,走入太平洋沿岸的咖啡館。繚繞其中,熟悉的旋律不加思索辨認出的那首曲子,悄悄延宕輕盈的思念。在另一座島嶼,我靜靜端起一杯柚子茶,複習你在耳邊溫柔哼唱的嗓音,如是撼動心弦。
海邊的Hotel California,我想念你。
那天星期幾?我忘了。在旅行途中,我無意但必然遺忘確切的日期及時間,捨棄慣常使用的時區,闔起印有年月日的筆記本,換上一本空白替代。旅行,無非是逃離,離開厭倦的生活規律,暫時拋開惱人的困境,然後飛翔。本以為,離開是旅行的意義,直到近幾趟旅行,漸趨不然。
那一日,初遇濟州島的陽光,我們到達海邊。那座白色鋼架與玻璃帷幕築起的國際會議中心座落於海岸線,是島上新穎且醒目的建築物,平日無議程期間作為演唱會或展覽之用,亦為韓劇的拍攝地。乘著現代化的手扶梯,我們誤闖頂樓的一片寧靜,以大塊落地窗圍成的咖啡館,一望無際的太平洋。
挑了靠窗的位置坐下,身旁擺設一架鋼琴,桌椅皆以白色與褐色調為主,咖啡館裡稀落的客人,更突顯靜謐的氛圍。侍者送來精緻的點單供我們選擇,窗外溫暖的光線灑進屋裡,閒適的幽靜。此刻,突如其來的音符陣陣入耳,直迫心房,我闔上雙眼,任憑思緒激盪,同時召喚深植腦海的片段。
低潮的那些日子,我們習慣於飯後散步至街角,並肩席地而坐,一瓶純喫茶和麥香紅茶,度過寂寞的夜。偶爾喧鬧,偶爾歌唱,更多時候我們沈默無語。那個冬天很寒冷,你時常以歌聲燃燒溫暖,習慣訴說生命的故事,說著我怎麼也不懂的回憶。每每我皺起疑惑的眉頭,你便停止言語唱起無言之歌,用盡力氣與情感,不可思議我從未聽過The eagles的Hotel California,你總是霸道地說:「妳只要記住我的歌聲就夠了。」,那首歌是這樣唱的:
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year, you can find it here
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted
she got the Mercedes Benz
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys,
that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard
sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember
some dance to forget
So I called up the Captain
'Please bring me my wine'
He said, 'We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine'
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...
(……)
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
'Relax,' said the night man,
We are programmed to receive.
You can checkout any time you like
but you can never leave!
原來,旅行的意義不過是再一次的記憶。
