The first act of love in a new house

在新房中第一次爱的行动

is not private. Loving each other

并不私密。爱着彼此

we are half-aware of door and mirror.

我们只是漫不经心地注意着门和镜子。

Our ecstasy includes the bedside chair,

我们的狂喜包括床边的椅子，

the air from the landing.

那着陆时的气流。

Street-lamp and elm utter leaves on walls

街灯和榆树在墙上演绎着叶的影子

as in no room ever. Theirs is the tongue

仿佛是人类房间中的处女秀。它们的舌头

our tongues join in translating. Their message

翻译着我们的舌头缠绵的语言。它们的意思

is clear: tonight you cannot ignore

很明确：今晚你们不能忽视窗外的世界。

the world at the window.

所以我们在看一座城的另类角度中

So we love in the knowledge of a city

做爱。我们宣示拥有家具和树木的视角，

at a different angle. And sharing

和它们分享床铺，把我俩的生命

our bed with furniture and tree we claim

融入它们已经形成的框架中。

their perspective, merging our lives here

in their established frame.
