我没有干过的事情

Something I’ve not done

跟随着我

is following me

我一次又一次没有干它

I haven’t done it again and again

因此它有很多脚步

so it has many footsteps

像一只从未使用过的衰老的鼓槌

Like a drumstick that’s grown old and never been used

我在迟来的下午听见它靠近

它不时爬出大海

In late afternoon I hear it come close

爬上我的肩头

at times it climbs out of a sea

我将其耸落

onto my shoulders

又失去一次机会

and I shrug it off

losing one more chance

每天早晨

它都为白日而饮完我的部分气息

Every morning

并且知道我要

it’s drunk up part of my breath for the day

走哪条路

and knows which way

现在它已经在那里没有被干过

I’m going

and already it’s not done there

但我再次说明天我就把双手

放在它上面

But once more I say I’ll lay hands on it

对我的心灵增加它的脚步

tomorrow

对我的后悔增加它的故事

and add its footsteps to my heart

and its story to my regrets

对我的罗盘增加它的沉默

and its silence to my compass
