Last night watching the Pleiades,
昨晚观察着昴宿星团
Breath smoking in the moonlight,
在月光下呼吸,吸着烟
Bitter memory like vomit
苦涩的记忆像呕吐物
Choked my throat.
哽在喉头
I unrolled a sleeping bag
我打开在走廊席子上的一个睡袋
On mats on the porch
在秋天浓密的星星下
Under thick autumn stars.
在你出现过的梦中
In dream you appeared
(九年中有过三次)
(Three times in nine years)
风,寒冷,责难
Wild, cold, and accusing.
我在羞愧和愤怒中醒来:
I woke shamed and angry:
心中无意义的战争
The pointless wars of the heart.
变得明晰。第一次这么近地
Almost dawn. Venus and Jupiter.
看到金星和木星
The first time I have
Ever seen them close.
