外国英语诗歌：格拉夫顿桥　　as you cross the cemetery beneath the bridge closes in
4 U. ~/ ]" u9 f; ~$ Y% I* i# q' e$ C　　pinetrees raise suspicious faces
　　an ocean of the dead like iron, giving off a fishy smell
　　the rusty sunlight has passed by
3 H  o2 e2 @) O  r; m( }　　sniffs at you like an old dog
　　a dog staring the scene is particularly clear from the bridge
* G) L3 L0 l$ k0 g　　a sky shrivelled by extinct volcanoes a dark red fist
) L- Q: g; ^$ e( w* U3 |　　a drop of the past’s blood on a low-budget headstone
: a" G) V; b2 y; ^8 m8 b( M　　clouds merge into yesterday’s storm
　　and are fouled by the claws of birds
$ e: y. S+ y+ r- x: R* @5 }　　transparent windows opened by the balustrade you brought home
　　you cross the bridge at home
9 G" d" N4 m: W4 r7 \; F& B' |　　an entire city lodged in a sickroom
　　green weeds linking so many feet together
　　under a stone roof the stone master closes in
4 @. F0 B9 G4 l, l4 i　　in an iron corridor the iron master closes in
/ B: p2 q7 X6 y. Y# i$ H1 j* D　　fantasizing with the eyes death need not speed up
　　that end where you go away and turn old
　　the dead on the lawn looking down at you are all the same
8 A4 K  X7 x$ N　　distance away
　　but you have to come back as though fettered by handcuffs of glass
　　to overhaul every pier of today’s sins
　　a child running crazy among snow-white seagulls
* {& F" y- l4 \8 P8 G/ R1 N　　standing suddenly still crying loudly for the stars
( r' t7 p$ F9 B- b1 G　　with a pain abruptly extended in the night bitterly weeping

　　桥下的墓地在你过桥时逼近
　　松树抬起一张张狐疑的脸
　　死者的海面铁块般散发腥味
1 W, e- m1 v: `& Z2 q9 g8 E　　铁锈色的阳光绕过去
