我们应该感激

现在，在爱之后，你和我重新学习
基本的风景，就像一幅
原派绘画，如其呈现
仅此而已——铁路、松林、水槽，
与文学无关之物。很快
适度的审美距离将会
体现，而我们将描述
那些颤动和呻吟。与此同时
让我们凝望着窗外，十月的
日落，又一个明媚日子的
结束。我们应该感激
为那些小小的恩惠：于是，月亮，
那古老的引擎之司机，来了，拖着她的
星辰的货物，穿过辽阔天空的大草原。

WE SHOULD GIVE THANKS

Now, after love, you and I relearn
the fundamental landscape, a naïve
painting that is nothing more
than it appears – railroad, pine grove, water tank,
the irrelevance of literature. Soon
the proper aesthetic distance will
assert itself and we’ll describe
those shivers and moans. Meanwhile
let us gaze out the window at the October
sunset, and the end of another
luminous day. We should give thanks
for small favors: here comes that old
engine driver, the moon, hauling her cargo
of stars across the vast prairie of sky.
