快乐的生日
（泰德·库瑟/作，张文武/译）
这个傍晚，我坐在一扇敞开的窗户旁
读着书，直到光线全都消失，书
没入黑暗，成了黑暗的一部分。
我能很轻易地打开灯，
但是我想乘坐着这一日进入夜晚，
我独自坐着，用灰暗的手的幽灵，
将那不能读的书页抚平。

This evening, I sat by an open window and read till the light was gone and the book was no more than a part of the darkness. I could easily have switched on a lamp, but I wanted to ride this day down into night, to sit alone and smooth the unreadable page with the pale gray ghost of my hand. |
