整夜

All night

我漂浮

I float

在浅水池塘

in the shallow ponds

而月亮四处漫步

while the moon wanders

明亮刺眼，

burning,

白色的骨头

bone white,

在牛奶似的茎干中。

among the milky stems.

有一次

Once

我看见她伸出手

I saw her hand reach

抚摸麝鼠

to touch the muskrat’s

小巧光滑的头

small sleek head

它真可爱，哦，

and it was lovely, oh,

我不想再去争论

I don’t want to argue anymore

这些事情

about all the things

我想我不能

I thought I could not

一无所有地生活！很快

live without! Soon

麝鼠

the muskrat

将和另一只麝鼠

will glide with another

一起溜进它们野草的

into their castle

城堡，早晨

of weeds, morning

从东边起来

will rise from the east

衣衫蓬乱，大大咧咧的，

tangled and brazen,

站在

and before that

那难以对付的

difficult

美丽的

and beautiful

光的飓风面前

hurricane of light

我想从

I want to flow out

所有水域的

across the mother

源头流出，

of all waters,

我想在黑暗

I want to lose myself

柔滑的水流中

on the black

迷失自己，

and silky currents,

张着嘴，

yawning,

聚拢

gathering

睡眠的

the tall lilies

高大百合。

of sleep.
