這已足夠，此刻，無論身在何處，

It is enough, now, anywhere,

那裏有你熱愛與之交談的人。

with everyone you love there to talk to.

並傾聽。

And to listen.

慢慢我們可以對彼此講述一些自己的事：

Slowly we can tell each other some things about our lives:

奔波，安頓，暫時的化解；失落，與平複；

runs, rests, brief resolutions; falls, and lulls;

熱烈而愉快的奔走，那麼確定；枯燥的、甜蜜的

hard joyful runs, in certainty; dull, sweet

禁錮，人的沉默；

durances, human silences;

                                    回頭朝孩子的裏面看，

                                              look back in at the children,

他們血液中規則、淡漠的撲閃；蒼白，莊嚴，

the regular, neutral flicker of their blood; pale, solemn,

他們，睡夢中的長腿動物之神，

long-legged animal-gods in their sleep,

在體內生長，當他們熟睡。

growing into their lives, in their sleep.
