原谅我 神父
(尼日利亚)恩梅彬忧
郑体武 译
Forgive me father,
but sometimes my God
is a woman
sitting on the kitchen floor
her hands holding her legs
screaming for help
without making a sound.
原谅我,神父,
但有时我的上帝
是个女人
坐在厨房地上
双手抱腿
尖声呼救
却发不出声音
Forgive me father
but sometimes my God
is a woman
calling me on the phone
begging me to call her
"beautiful"
because her lover forced
ugliness into her soul.
原谅我,神父
但有时我的上帝
是个女人
打电话给我
求我称她
“漂亮”
因为她的爱人逼着
丑陋进入她的灵魂。
Forgive me father
but sometimes my God
is a woman
crying in the shower
begging for another God
to lift her burden.
原谅我,神父,
但有时我的上帝
是个女人
在淋浴时哭泣
祈求另一个上帝
解除她的负担。
