《回归》
作者：露易丝·格里克
翻译：忒绿
最初你离开时
我惊慌失措；不久
街上有个男孩打动了我，
他的目光与我的相遇，
清澈而忧伤：我
呼唤他进来；我用我们的语言
与他交谈，
但他的手是你的，
那样温柔地索要致命的占有——
所以，我呼唤的是你们中的哪一个
已无关紧要，
创伤已深及心底。
The Return
Louise Glück
At first when you went away
I was frightened; then
a boy touched me on the street,
his eyes were level with mine,
clear and grieving: I
called him in; I spoke to him
in our language,
but his hands were yours,
so gently making their murderous claim—
And then it didn’t matter
which one of you I called,
the wound was that deep.
