英诗汉译：每一个结束都应发出声响

武夷山

每一个结束都应发出声响

作者：C J Evans

译者：武夷山  © 

皮毛应该发出声响，撅起的嘴唇也该。当瞳孔

散大，白喉针尾雨燕俯冲落地时。装满了骨灰的罐子。

油漆、旧毛线、山峦。我们都应发声。每个圣骨匣，

每个断层，每个坟墓都应发出声响。如藤蔓

缠绕了废墟。所有曾与我们一道生活

而此时分离的人。黑暗应该发出声响。此屋也该。

尘土就现在成为骨灰的那个人该发出声响。打破

嘴边的法令纹。独自度过的任意最后一天。

原诗如下：

Every Ending Should Make a Sound

C J Evans

Fur should make a sound, pursing lips should. When a pupil

dilates or a chimney swift dives. The urn, full of what a person

was. Paint, old wool, the mountain. We should. Every reliquary,

every fault, every grave should make a sound. Vines of how

they hold up the ruin. All the people who were here with us

and now aren’t. Dark should. This room. Dirt about

what it knows of what’s now in the urn. Lines as they

break the edges of a mouth. Any last day spent alone.

该诗选自美国诗人CJ Evans 的诗集LIVES，Sarabande Books出版社，2022年6月出版。
