康明斯 : i will wade out

Diane Leonard 畫作

e. e. cummings : i will wade out

i will wade out

till my thighs are steeped in burning flowers

I will take the sun into my mouth

and leap into the ripe air

我欲涉足而出

直到臀部沉浸於焚燒的花

我欲將太陽置於口中

躍入熟透的大氣


Alive

with closed eyes

to dash against the darkness
in the sleeping curves of my body

活生生地
雙眼緊閉
衝向黑暗
於我身體熟睡的曲線

Shall enter fingers of smooth mastery
with chasteness of sea-girls

我將融入手指柔順的技藝

以海的女兒的貞潔



Will I complete the mystery
of my flesh

我能否圓滿

這肉體的奧祕

I will rise

After a thousand years

lipping
Flowers

And set my teeth in the silver of the moon

我將復活
於千年之後
以唇輕吻
花朵
再將牙齒鑲入月的銀光中

(Mary May 譯）
