结算账单光诸 译

Doing the Bills李·厄普顿


我的父亲把账单
My father impaling bills
穿在一个钉进木头里的钉子上
on a nail on a block of wood
然后他抱住他的头
then putting his head in his hands
然后你抱住你的头
and you with your head in your hands
我也抱住我的头
and my head in my hands
手放在我的眼睛上
hands over my eyes
这时我看到已经淡忘了几十年的场景
and I see again what I forgot for decades
我的父亲
my father
在结算完账单之后
after doing the bills
把面包撕碎放进碗里
crumbling bread in a bowl
在上面浇上牛奶
and pouring milk over the bread
然后放进一勺糖。
and spooning in sugar.
