A Self-portrait

By Kuan Sun

It was a luxury, so luxury that afternoon
so luxury to cuddle up face-to-face
Once in a while, a luxury more than feeling out
more than the fantasy a person alone
While I hugged you from behind
I didn't feel it fancied

I've never seen myself before
but I saw you

translated by Chen Zihong

午后无比奢侈
近距离无比奢侈
但偶尔的奢侈却胜过试探
更胜过独自的幻想
我拥抱你的时候
就没有感觉到虚妄

我不曾看见过自己
我却看见了你
