整个夏天

All summer

我漫步于田野，

I wandered the fields

在每个清晨，

that were thickening

每一场雨中，

every morning,

田野变得深邃

every rainfall,

充满种子和花，

with weeds and blossoms,

以及闪烁不定的

with the long loops

耀眼的光环——

of the shimmering, and the extravagant-

如同苍白的火焰，它们升起

pale as flames they rose

又熄灭，

and fell back,

丰盈而美——

replete and beautiful-

这就是田野的全部——

that was all there was-

而我

and I too

至少有一两次，

once or twice, at least,

感到自己飞起来了，

felt myself rising,

我的鞋子

my boots

突然碰到种子的顶端，

touching suddenly the tops of the weeds,

丝绸一般柔滑的蓝色空气——

the blue and silky air-

听，

listen,

它热情地

passion did it,

召唤我，

called me forth,

使我迷茫，

addled me,

剥去我的外壳

stripped me clean

再为我穿上欢乐的衣裳——

then covered me with the cloth of happiness-

我不再需要什么，

I think there is no other prize,

只是沉迷于这闪亮的一刻，

only rapture the gleaming,

沉迷于这不合逻辑的失重——

rapture the illogical the weightless-

它是否是你所爱之物的

whether it be for the perfect shapeliness

完美形式——

of something you love-

属于一首古老的德国歌曲——

like an old German song-

或者某个人——

or of someone-

或者就是地球自身的黑色丝线，

or the dark floss of the earth itself,

沉重，带电。

heavy and electric.

在可爱心智的边缘，展开

At the edge of sweet sanity open

如此狂野而盲目的翅膀。

such wild, blind wings.
