Poem

——Leonard Cohen

I heard of a man

who says words so beautifully

that if he only speaks their name

women give themselves to him.

If I am dumb beside your body

while silence blossoms like tumours on our lips

it is because I hear a man climb the stairs

and clear his throat outside our door.

湿意

——译 凌易水

我听闻有个男人

声音无比动听

只要说出女人的名字

她们便会以身相许。

你我对峙，哑言不语

沉默就像嘴角肆虐的疱疹

一个男人越过楼梯

在门外清喉炫耀。

Cohen是我最喜欢的歌手，没有之一，虽然他也是个诗人。仅此献给已在天堂的Cohen。
