我未能成功地去爱哪个人

I didn’t manage to love anyone

纵然我已如此赶紧

even though I hurried so much

仿佛我不得不只去爱空地方

It was as if I had to love only empty places

没有拥抱的摆荡的衣袖

the dangling sleeves without the embrace

被头颅抛弃的贝雷帽

the beret abandoned by the head

或许会起立离开房间的扶手椅

the armchair that also should get up and leave the room

不再有人碰的书

the books no longer touched

夹有一丝银发的梳子

the comb with a silver hair left in it

被婴儿长过的小床

the cots babies outgrew

盛满多余东西的抽屉

the drawers full of unnecessary things

烟嘴被嚼过的烟斗

the pipe with a chewed mouthpiece

被赤脚离开的一只脚塑了形的鞋

the shoes molded to the shape of a foot

人声沉寂的电话筒

that departed barefooted

我如此赶紧地去爱

the phone-receiver where voices grew hush

自然我未能做到

I hurried so much to love

and naturally I didn’t manage
