介绍:
Little Girl Wakes EarlyRemember when you were the first one awake, the firstTo stir in the dawn-curdled house, with little bare feetCold on boards, every door shut and accurst,And behind shut doors no breath perhaps drew, no heart beat. You held your breath and thought how all over townHouses had doors shut, and no whisper of breath sleeping,And that meant no swinging, nobody to pump up and down,No hide-and-go-seek, no serious play at housekeeping. So you ran outdoor, bare feet from the dew wet,And climbed the fence to the house of your dearest friend,And opened your lips and twisted your tongue, all setTo call her name—but the sound wouldn’t come in the end, For you thought how awful, if there was no breath thereFor answer. Tears start, you run home, where now mother,Over the stove, is humming some favorite air.You seize her around the legs, but tears aren’t over, And won’t get over, not even when she shakes you—And shakes you hard—and more when you can’t explain.Your mother’s long dead. And you’ve learned that when loneliness takes youThere’s nobody ever to explain to—though you try again and again.Robert Penn Warren朗读|+1制作|李老乐值守|李老乐出品|读首诗再睡觉（dushoushizaishuijiao）
