gentle eel in the sun

on the reel of the moon
in the lapping swell, a simple curl
my body as a tail, elver fins rippling,
face and form like a thin fish
stretching to a line

curling into each wave
like a lonely question
the sea cannot answer

阳光下温柔的鳗鱼

在月亮的卷轴上
在拍岸的涌浪中，简单的一抹弧线
我的身体像一条尾巴，
幼鳗的鳍轻轻荡漾，
面孔与形态如一条细长的鱼
向着一根线伸展

蜷缩进每一道波浪
如同一个孤独的问题
连大海也无法回答

rain talking to night in darkness

conversation stretches in soft tongues,
she is singing in silver, midnight hears her,
the rain exchanges. Midnight is a listener,
his dark mouth open wide, catching her
chattering sounds scattered in the water

雨在黑暗中与夜晚交谈

对话在柔软的舌头上延伸，
她以银色的声音歌唱；午夜倾听她，
雨交换着话题。午夜是一个倾听者，
他张大漆黑的嘴，接住她
散落在水中的喋喋之声。

the silver feather found by a fox in darkness

in the swollen darkness there is a lull
when dogs toenails are little clicks on the floor
rooms swapping the silver
through glass. Night-foxes emerging
their mouths full of silver feathers
and grass stems sweep over silent deer-paths

I am a soft silver feather, lifted in the moonlight
my thin white back rises as softly as every feather
ever does, from here and there, to eternity

一只狐狸在黑暗中找到的银色羽毛

膨胀的黑暗中，有一种暂时的平静
当狗们的趾甲在地板上发出轻轻的咔哒声
房间通过玻璃
交换着银光。夜的狐狸出现了
它们的嘴里满是银色的羽毛
草茎扫过寂静的鹿径

我是一片柔软的银色羽毛，在月光中升起
我纤薄洁白的脊背，羽毛般轻柔
永远如此，从此处到彼岸，直到永恒




this is the violet hour

the night-ribbon unravelling, stars spilling
everywhere, shoulders closer than ever.
Roses unfurl in the night air, moths dress
their petals with softness and body fur.

We are quiet signals tonight, only nature
speaks for us, in a voice of wonder. We sleep
and the darkness governs us. The moths are
happiest, when they are speaking to the roses.

这是紫罗兰时刻

夜的绶带展开，群星洒落
全地，肩膀与肩膀靠得更近。
玫瑰在夜气中舒展，飞蛾
用柔软和绒毛装扮它们的花瓣。

今夜，我们是安静的信号，只有自然
为我们说话，用奇迹的声音。我们入睡
黑暗统治着我们。飞蛾何其
幸福，当它们向着玫瑰倾诉。

within the withering blooms

I am purple and pink and velvet remembering.
The core of me is a fragment drying, curling.
I left my love on the outer ring, of a dying bloom
browning, withering. And I am stuck on
a green stem in a tall glass vase
that is shattering, slowly, silently; a velvet
petal shrinking, that shines still, within the withering blooms

在凋零的花朵中

我是紫色、粉色和天鹅绒的记忆。
我的核心是一个碎片，正在干枯和卷曲。
我把我的爱留在了外圈，一朵将死的花上，
它正在变成褐色，凋谢。而我被困在
一根绿茎上，插在高大的玻璃花瓶里，
它正在破碎，缓慢，沉默；一片天鹅绒的花瓣
依然在闪耀，在萎谢的花朵中，渐渐收缩。
