爱之后的爱

Derrick Wallcott

钟谷兰译

那一天将会到来

当你带着欢欣

迎接自己

来到你的门前

在你自己的镜中

向着彼此微笑

说，欢迎

请坐，请吃吧

你将再度爱那陌生人

你自己

斟上美酒，奉上面包

将你的心还给它自己

给那在你一生之中都爱着你

却被你因着他者而忽略了的陌生人

那由衷懂得你的人

从书架上

取下情书

照片

和短笺吧

将你自己的形象从镜中摘下

坐下来

尽享你生命的

盛宴

Love After Love

Derrick Wallcott

The day will come when

With elation

You will greet yourself

Arriving at your own door

In your own mirror

And each will smile at the other’s

Welcome

Saying, sit here, eat

You with love again the stranger

Who was yourself

Give wine, give bread

Give back your heart to itself

To the stranger who has loved you

All your life

Whom you ignored for another

Who knows you by heart

Take down the love letters

From the bookshelf

The photographs

The desperate notes

Peel you own image from the mirror

Sit

Feast on your life
