At Midocean
Robert Bly
All day I loved you in a fever, holding on to the tail of the horse.
I overflowed whenever I reached out to touch you.
My hands moved over your body, covered with its dress,
burning, rough, an animal’s foot or hand moving over leaves.
The rainstorm retires, clouds open, sunlight
sliding over ocean water a thousand miles from land.
海中央
罗伯特·勃莱
一整天，爱你有如发烧，抓着马尾巴在跑。
每当我伸手将你触摸，我便是洪水的泛滥。
我的双手在你覆盖着衣裙的身体上游移，
炽热、粗糙，一只动物的手或脚在落叶上走。
暴风雨止息了，天开云散，艳阳高照
在远离大地千里之遥的海洋上掠来扫去。
