《在黑水塘》 by 瑪麗·奧利弗  林木譯

雨下了一夜之後

黑水塘翻騰的水安靜下來。

我掬一捧水。慢慢

飲下。這味道

像石子，葉子，火。它的冷

進入我體內，喚醒骨頭。我聽見它們

在我內心深處低語

哦，剛剛發生了什麽

如此美妙？

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?
