仅仅如此_默温

仅仅如此

当我想起我曾有过的忍耐

在黑暗中，在我记起

或明白那是夜晚以前，直到光

蓦然间以天然的速度

飞过世界的所有时间

无视能否到达

之后是第一批星的聚集

在它们开花的空间，从容不迫地

直入故事深处，行星

缓缓冷却，雨的年纪

然后海开始保存记忆

第一个细胞醒来时的注视

倏忽之间如何开始得这般仓促

随时由闪电照亮的阅读

几乎无言，这片虚无，这个天堂

Just This

When I think of the patience I have had

back in the dark before I remember

or knew it was night until the light came

all at once at the speed it was born to

with all the time in the world to fly through

not concerned about ever arriving

and then the gathering of the first stars

unhurried in their flowering spaces

and far into the story the planets

cooling slowly and the ages of rain

then the seas starting to bear memory

the gaze of the first cell at its waking

how did this haste begin this little time

at any time this reading by lightning

scarcely a word this nothing this heaven
