Night And The River

Night And The River By Mary Oliver
Read By Mary Oliver

I have seen the great feet
leaping
into the river

and I have seen moonlight
milky
along the long muzzle

and I have seen the body
of something
scaled and wonderful

slumped in the sudden fire of its mouth
and I could not tell
which fit me

more comfortably, the power,
or the powerlessness;
neither would have me

entirely; I was divided,
consumed,
by sympathy,

pity, admiration.
After a while
it was done,

the fish had vanished, the bear
lumped away
to the green shore

and into the trees. And then there was only
this story.
It followed me home

and entered my house—
a difficult guest
with a single
tune

which it hums all day and through the night—
slowly or briskly,
it doesn’t matter,

it sounds like a river leaping and falling
it sounds like a body
falling apart.

謝謝鬆鬆的評論,朗誦者也是詩人Mary Oliver她自己呢。詩人把河邊所見,創作成詩歌,有點恐怖的一首詩,魚就這樣被熊吞沒了。"And then there was only this story. It followed me home and entered my house—a difficult guest with a single tune."
