《在十二月的夜晚上床》by 巴斯

在十二月的夜晚上床  埃倫·巴斯  林木譯

 

當我鑽入被子，融入

你的溫暖，我想我們就像

三十年前寫的一封情書，

某個年老的神每天仍在閱讀，

然後小心地放回它的信封裏。

 

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.
