恐惧
早已存在于她的爱中
在她确切知道自己的情人是神之前。
她的前额
掠过他胸前的几滴汗水
凑近他的耳朵
塞默勒再次祈求证明。
那个时刻并不具有神话或者隐喻的色彩
当她被自己看到的光亮燃烧殆尽。
From “Semele”
BY ELIZABETH CAMPBELL
There was terror already
in her love even before
she knew for sure her lover was the god.
Her forehead
skidded a little on the sweat
of his chest and close to his ear
Semele begged again for proof.
And it didn’t feel like a myth or a metaphor to her
as she burned up with the brightness she saw.
