离婚之歌

一个可能是我丈夫的男人驾船经过。
我只看到一艘帆船，并不知道谁在掌舵。
但通过“事物的性别”，我在脑海中看到男人。

我的丈夫，你不会见到他的。
他走了，我不太清楚，应该在指挥——
不是士兵，而是思想——航行帮助他思考。

我曾经和他一起航行，后来我们吵了起来，
一直吵了十年。有时我们一起驾船，
虽然我承认我主要是个

装饰品，就像船头的美人鱼。
我是否给他带来了更好的运气
这不是我该知道的事情。我让他付出了代价——

时间。他让我付出了代价。更多。

Divorce Song

A man who is probably my husband sails by.
But I just see a sailboat, not who steers it.
But I picture a man, in the gender of things.

My husband who you will not meet.
He’s off, I don’t know, marshalling.
Ideas, not soldiers. Sailing helps him think.

I used to join him. Then we argued.
For a decade we argued. And sometimes
sailed, though I was admittedly mostly

decorative, a mermaid on the prow.
Whether I brought him better luck
is not my weather to tell. I cost him.

Time. He costs me. More.
