天竺葵 /吉纳维芙·塔加德 林木译
即使天竺葵是人工的
仍然，
在意大利咖啡馆的后面
在电光的光晕下
它们是红色的；红色不会减少
不论它们是怎样制作的。
在镜子和餐巾上方
在白色的小罐子里……
……在半洁净的咖啡馆里
他们有好吃的
千层面……红色是一种美妙的快乐
真的，喜欢和忽视它的人也是。在这个地方
他们还有好面包。
The Geraniums: by Genevieve Taggard
Even if the geraniums are artificial
Just the same,
In the rear of the Italian café
Under the nimbus of electric light
They are red; no less red
For how they were made. Above
The mirror and the napkins
In the little white pots . .
. . . In the semi-clean café
Where they have good
Lasagna . . . The red is a wonderful joy
Really, and so are the people
Who like and ignore it. In this place
They also have good bread.
