黑水塘
雨下了一整夜
黑水塘沸腾的水平静下来。
我掬了一捧。慢慢
饮下。它的味道
像石头,叶子,火。它把寒冷
灌进我体内,惊醒了骨头。我听见他们
在我身体深处,窃窃私语
哦,这转瞬即逝的美妙之物
究竟是什么?
At Blackwater Pond
by Mary Oliver
At Blackwater Pond the tossed waters have settled
after a night of rain.
I dip my cupped hands. I drink
a long time. It tastes
like stone, leaves, fire. It falls cold
into my body, waking the bones. I hear them
deep inside me, whispering
oh what is that beautiful thing
that just happened?
