Nothing else is here,
this must be you
feeling like a trick doorknob,
one that won’t open anything.
If someone knocks in your sleep,
and you
dream the lean wolves
come down
from hills of glass,
oh lonely, their teeth
tenderly gnawing
the tiny bones of your ear:
love them.
Pretend
you’re home.

这里别无他物
只有你
像一个游戏的门把手
不会打开任何东西
如果有人在梦境中敲门
你呢
正梦见瘦饿的狼群
从玻璃山
下来
牙齿温柔地啃食
你耳朵的小骨头
哦，孤独的人
爱他们吧
假装
你在家

A chipmunk suns on a cinderblock
An oily green
Dragonfly slinks above the unruffled
Swimming pool a redwing
Blackbird pauses on an Adirondack chair
With an eye fixed
On the motorboat gasping in the lake
A flock of western clouds shoved
By the jetstream assembles like perfect
Strangers elbowing each other in a vaulted
Public room like the old Penn Station
When everyone wore a hat

花栗鼠坐在煤球上日光浴
油光满面的绿蜻蜓
偷偷掠过波澜不惊的游泳池
红翼黑鸫歇在阿迪朗达克椅子上
目不转睛地盯着
湖中气喘吁吁的汽艇
西方的云彩被大气激流猛推一把
真像旧宾夕法尼亚车站
拱顶的公共房间里
撑着肘互相拥挤的陌生人
那时人人都喜欢戴帽子

I was at the hardware store early.
Basements were flooding all over town.
A handyman I knew had a new little
White beard. I heard a flute playing
Elsewhere in the store, or someone
Blowing on a pipe. Men had gathered
In plumbing. We all knew levels were
Rising. There was not a minute to lose,
Except the one set aside for civilities.
People are kindest in hardware stores.

我早早来到五金店
蜗居在城镇地下室
我认识一个有点白胡子的伙计
我听到悠扬的长笛声
塞满商店的角落
有人在吹笛
罐装了的人们挤在一起
地平线冉冉升起
除了互相问安
没有一分钟可以浪费
在五金商店
人们最友善
