虚掩之门

The Door Cracked Open

雨后
突然亮起的阳光吵醒了你的睡眠
你起床，絮叨，赶走了我的枯思

这时我正坐在桌前
这时我正虚掩着门
这时我正祈祷诗之灵感从天而降
直落我身

雨后阳光
被雨洗过
比雨前更晃眼
你被阳光晃醒的脚步先于诗神
来到我面前

——门为何虚掩？
——门虚掩是因为快递就要到了

门虚掩是因为诗神就要递来她的诗篇。
			

The rain is gone
The sudden sunlight wakes you up with its voices
You get up, complain
You interrupt my dried out thoughts

Now I am at my desk
leaving the door cracked open
and praying for inspirations to fall from the sky
Right onto my body

Sunlight 
Just showered by the rain
Is more dazzling
It wakes up your footsteps
that reach me before Muse does

----why is the door cracked open?
----it's cracked open because express mail is coming

It's cracked open because Muse is coming
With her delivery of poetry
