Keeping Things Whole
- By Mark Strand(1934 -)
In a field
I am the absence
of field.
This is
always the case.
Wherever I am
I am what is missing.
When I walk
I part the air
and always
the air moves in
to fill the spaces
where my body's been.
We all have reasons
for moving.
I move
to keep things whole.
讓事物得以完整
我是一片曠野中
未曾被發覺的存在,一直
都是如此。無論我走到哪裡
這是既定的消匿……
當我行走時,撥撩四周的空氣
它們總會進來填補我
的軀體,佔領所有的空虛
然而人們移動自己,各有其原由;
而我,移動--是為了
讓事物得以完整。
