a keyhole and opened the door.

We went inside and watched

oppressive than winter with

比冬天更有压迫感，

its alyssum and clover

and the sheer weight of life

crowding us off the page.

把我们挤出纸页。

We stayed in bed for years

from each other’s cups.

We read Bleak House and

Nothing opened as we did.

这世上没有什么像我们一样

完全敞开。
