一切
斯裏坎思·雷迪
她透過一塊破碎的瓶子
觀看日食
當他離開家的時候。
他在森林裏找到一個藍風箏
在她與一位水手
躺下的那天。當他的名字改變時,
她將一朵雲縫在一床破布
做的被子上。他們沒有見麵,
所以他們永遠不會分離。
於是她完成了她的禱告,
而他折疊了他的海圖。

Everything
Srikanth Reddy
She was watching the solar eclipse
through a piece of broken bottle
when he left home.
He found a blue kite in the forest
on the day she lay down
with a sailor. When his name changed,
she stitched a cloud to a quilt
made of rags. They did not meet,
so they could never be parted.
So she finished her prayer,
& he folded his map of the sea.
