慾望二三事

日光半妆，几乎时尚。
自此角度，移走一小时，妓女变成你。
我从你的河流中钓起一个吻，哦小姐风采，哦一次小罪。
没有什么像那多叶的枝干，出场时哗啦作响。
现在，真的，我説，垂直于你紫红色的梦。

(曹疏影、朱晓玢译)

Two or Three Things about Desire

Sunlight half-preening, almost fashionable.
An hour removed from this angle and cocotte becomes you.
I fish a kiss out of your river: o miss demeanor, o misdemeanor.
Nothing like leafy limbs clattering in attendance.
Really now, I say, perpendicular to your purplish dream.
