Uneasily the leaves fall at this season,

树叶落得很不安，在这样的季节，

forgetting what to do or where to go;

忘了该做什么或者该到哪儿去；

the red amnesiacs of autumn

秋天的红色失忆症

drifting thru the graveyard forest.

飘零着，穿过墓地的森林。

What they have forgotten they have forgotten:

已被它们遗忘了的，它们已经遗忘：

what they meant to do instead of fall

除了飘落之外，它们想做的事

is not in earth or time recoverable—

在地球或时间中也不可能复得——

the fossils of intention, the shapes of rot.

意图成了化石，腐烂的形状。
