致简（For Jane）

查尔斯·布考斯基

 

225天埋在草下

你知道的比我更多。

他们早就抽干了你的血，

你是篮子里一根干枝。

事情就是这么运作的吗？

在这个房间里

爱的时光

仍投下阴影。

 

当你离开

你几乎带走了

一切。

夜里我跪下

面对那些不肯放过

我的老虎。

 

你的样子

再也不会重现。

老虎们已经找上我

而我无所谓。

（林木译）

 

For Jane

By Charles Bukowski

 

225 days under grass

and you know more than I.

they have long taken your blood,

you are a dry stick in a basket.

is this how it works?

in this room

the hours of love

still make shadows.

 

when you left

you took almost

everything.

I kneel in the nights

before tigers

that will not let me be.

 

what you were

will not happen again.

the tigers have found me

and I do not care.
