外国英语诗歌：格拉夫顿桥　　as you cross the cemetery beneath the bridge closes in
　　pinetrees raise suspicious faces
6 [9 T  O( S( X　　an ocean of the dead like iron, giving off a fishy smell
　　the rusty sunlight has passed by
　　sniffs at you like an old dog
　　a dog staring the scene is particularly clear from the bridge
　　a sky shrivelled by extinct volcanoes a dark red fist
# P; q+ T3 h  o7 L* u' h& o6 V　　a drop of the past’s blood on a low-budget headstone
　　clouds merge into yesterday’s storm
　　and are fouled by the claws of birds
　　transparent windows opened by the balustrade you brought home
　　you cross the bridge at home
　　an entire city lodged in a sickroom
　　green weeds linking so many feet together
　　under a stone roof the stone master closes in
　　in an iron corridor the iron master closes in
　　fantasizing with the eyes death need not speed up
4 i: n2 E$ u; l& K% e　　that end where you go away and turn old
- |  Q! l3 |) ~1 I% l6 h4 }2 ~　　the dead on the lawn looking down at you are all the same
　　distance away
　　but you have to come back as though fettered by handcuffs of glass
/ v$ g, ^3 I6 A4 q. N$ W　　to overhaul every pier of today’s sins
　　a child running crazy among snow-white seagulls
　　standing suddenly still crying loudly for the stars
$ H9 o2 D- E% o" A) G0 S1 A2 h/ ]　　with a pain abruptly extended in the night bitterly weeping
1 F' i0 i5 p$ R4 k9 }7 Z

　　桥下的墓地在你过桥时逼近
　　松树抬起一张张狐疑的脸
9 m) P* W# \0 A7 k　　死者的海面铁块般散发腥味
9 m' D' H/ j# r& Z" @# o$ ^) N! P　　铁锈色的阳光绕过去
　　像一只老狗嗅嗅你
　　一只狗眼盯着风景在桥上格外清晰
% v/ W: d  x5 v　　死火山萎缩的天空一个暗红的拳头
: o8 x; V+ }3 h% E　　廉价墓碑上一滴过时的血
7 Q& R' t. u' N' |　　云汇合了昨天所有的风暴
5 [5 L* i) S; p! g" y　　却被鸟爪弄脏
　　被带你回家的栏杆敞开透明的窗户
　　你在家里过桥
　　整整一座城市住进一间病房
( N3 ~* k% L0 N4 J/ b　　碧绿的野草把那么多脚步连在一起
; [4 B2 |+ x2 S- @, X/ m　　石头的主人在石头屋顶下逼近
　　铁的主人在铁的走廊里逼近

　　你走去的还是你被变老的那一端

　　一群雪白的海鸥里一个狂奔的孩子
