感谢上帝我们在
Thank God we cast
我们的生活中投下一星影斑,
A spot of shadow in our lives,
摩诃婆罗多新娘说,
Said the Mahabharata bride,
面对她新郎的五个面相——
Facing five versions of her groom---
你的男人自己加上四个男神,
Your man himself plus four male gods,
四幅如出一辙的图像,影印他的造型——
Four dead-spit images,self-xeroxed in his shape---
谁认得出那声心跳,
Who recognised that heartbeat,
她将不得不在他的地狱
The man she'd have to part with
阴影旁与他分离。众神并未到处走动
By the shadow at his hell. Gods don't go round
投下阴影。我们所做所感之事
Casting shadow.Things we do and feel

后来所言)是未完待续的,

不完美的,因此是真实的。
Imperfect,therefore real.
