FAITHFULNESSDiana Shi, George O'Connell 译

忠實曹疏影


From the trash can 
他從垃圾桶裏
he fished a box of lemon tea.
撿出一盒檸檬茶
Between day and night
在黑夜和白晝之間
his mouth attends the angled straw
把已折斷的塑料管放進嘴裏
that turns in each direction.
四面八方匯流
Annular rings grow from within, wheeling slowly
年輪從內部緩慢轉動
in the curve that carves us.
內螺旋地雕刻我們
I see him smile, looking up,
我看見他衝上邊笑
the smooth white flesh swaddling his face,
輕膩的白肉包好那張臉
deep sunk pupils
瞳仁在肉裏面很遠
casting for us their gaze.
代我們射出目光
For us he tastes others’ flavor,
代我們品嚐別人的味道
for us his smiling head upturned.
代我們衝上邊笑
On Mars the rabbit beats its drum,
兔子火星上打鼓
on earth the mountains listen.
羣山地球上聽
