埃倫·巴斯《臘月的夜鑽進被窩》

臘月的夜鑽進被窩

埃倫·巴斯 作
忒綠 譯

當我鑽進被窩蜷縮在
你的溫暖裏，我覺得我們就像兩頁
三十年前的情書
老眼昏花的神仍然每天閱讀
然後疊好放回信封裏

Getting Into Bed On A December Night
By Ellen Bass

When I slip beneath the quilt and fold into
your warmth, I think we are like the pages
of a love letter written thirty years ago
that some aging god still reads each day
and then tucks back into its envelope.
