在夏天的雨后，

After summer rains,

大理石拇指蜗牛和甲虫

marble thumb snails and beetles

用珍珠和嗡鸣

blot the window screens

填满了纱窗。栀子花膨胀，

with pearl and drone. Gardenias swell,

呼吸的是水而不是空气，而旅行

breathing is aquatic and travel

是从床上到世界的长长的拖音。

a long drawl from bed to world.

干旱变成了一个怪物女孩

During drought,

有着炉火般的红唇

the heat becomes a devil

她想让你的大脑浸泡在

girl with oven-red lips

一个黄铜盖子的玻璃瓶里，

who wants your brains puddled

她想要从你的舌头上剥下银子，

in a brass-capped mason jar,

从你的双腿上剥下夜晚的脉搏，

who wants the silver stripped

是的，她想要你的一切。

from your tongue, the evening pulse

between your legs, yes, she wants

everything from you
