致海洋

有时候当你开始喋喋不休
或者说，当你觉得自己开始喋喋不休
你会说“好吧，现在我在喋喋不休了”
但我并不认为你真的在喋喋不休。
如果你真的在喋喋不休，我也并不在意。
这不仅仅因为我和每个人偶尔都会陷入
放飞自我之中——
我认为这实际上是一种美丽的温柔，
我们作为人类在尝试向他人表达
我们内心的所有纷繁丝线，
渴望让另一个人明白我们试图向他们展现的一切——
而且是因为你这个人，
你的具体情况，
在这辆你正在驾驶的汽车里，
我正坐在你身边，
与你有关，
与你那两片具体的嘴唇有关，
它们正张开，
释放出那份具体的甜美，
就是你声音的泉水
汹涌而来——就像我刚刚说的，
我从来都不在乎
你会继续说多久，
因为这意味着
我可以听你说话
更长的时间。
它曾经是一条小溪
现在变成了大河。

To the Sea

Sometimes when you start to ramble
or rather when you feel you are starting to ramble
you will say Well, now I’m rambling
though I don’t think you ever are.
And if you ever are I don’t really care.
And not just because I and everyone really
at times falls into our own unspooling
—which really I think is a beautiful softness
of being human, trying to show someone else
the color of all our threads, wanting another to know
everything in us we are trying to show them—
but in the specific,
in the specific of you
here in this car that you are driving
and in which I am sitting beside you
with regards to you
and your specific mouth
parting to give way
to the specific sweetness that is
the water of your voice
tumbling forth—like I said
I don’t ever really mind
how much more
you might keep speaking
as it simply means
I get to hear you
speak for longer.
What was a stream
now a river.
