那狗，死去多年了，总在梦中回来。

The dog, dead for years, keepscoming back in the dream.

我们怀着往日的欢欣彼此凝视。

We look at each other there with the old joy.

总是她的馈赠将我带进现世——

It was always her gift to bring me into the present—

睡觉、变化、醒来、穿衣、离开。

Which sleeps, changes, awakens,dresses, leaves.

Happiness and unhappiness

自有差别，就像金箔锤打的水桶不同于铅皮压制的水桶，

this painting proposes.

它说，什么桶都装相同的水。

Each carries the same water, itsays.
