Lucy Alexander's "Paths" translated into Chinese by Cui Yuwei

Paths

Written in English by Lucy Alexander

Translated into Chinese by Cui Yuwei

the rain is friend to paths

kissing them with feeling

pelting them with love

finding them through all

the downhill relationships

that end in dams

the hubris and debris

of water’s courses

so much gravity

pulling with tiny hands

to the magnet of

the pool.

《小徑》

雨是小徑的友人

像動情的吻落在上面

像懷有愛意的拍打

一路跟隨它們下坡

直到這段戀情

被大坝截斷

水的路線

傲慢與碎片

強大的重力

用小手拉動

湖的

磁鐵。
