At Midocean海中央
At Midocean
Robert Bly
All day I loved you in a fever, holding on to the tail of the horse.
I overflowed whenever I reached out to touch you.
My hands moved over your body, covered with its dress,
burning, rough, an animal’s foot or hand moving over leaves.
The rainstorm retires, clouds open, sunlight
sliding over ocean water a thousand miles from land.
海中央
羅伯特·勃萊
一整天，愛你有如發燒，抓著馬尾巴在跑。
每當我伸手將你觸摸，我便是洪水的泛濫。
我的雙手在你覆蓋著衣裙的身體上游移，
熾熱、粗糙，一只動物的手或腳在落葉上走。
暴風雨止息了，天開云散，艷陽高照
在遠離大地千里之遙的海洋上掠來掃去。
