Makeshift
From two pieces of string and oil-fattened feathers he made a father.
She made a mother from loss buttons and ocean debris.
Lacking a grave, they embottled themselves
in a favorite liqueur, the pyx and plethora of clouds—
with the heart striped and clear-cut, they rekindled the stars,
created a glossary of seeds.
Down the fire ladder, rung after fiery rung, they gather, salvage,
fiddle about, curse and root, laugh themselves silly,
en masse assemble a makeshift holy city. In the holy city,
makeshift, they assemble en masse, silly themselves,
laugh and root, curse the fiddle, gather salvage rung
after fiery rung as they ladder their fire down.
A glossary seeded creates stars, strips clear the diamond-cut heart.
They sold clouds, the plethora and pyx of liqueur. Favored themselves
embottled in grave lack, ocean debris, and loss buttons,
where Mother made a father who made feathers
from fattened oil and string pieces for two.
翻译一下：呵呵呵。。
暂时代替品
他从双螺旋和肥油羽毛里做了父亲
她从松开的纽扣和海洋破浪里变了母亲
干柴烈火，他们把自己
装在满酒的罐子里
热血沸腾直冲云霄
心房条纹明如镜
燃起了星星
制造了种子这一词
顺着阶梯，一轮接火热一轮
他们靠拢，拯救
摆弄，诅咒，生根，自嘲
成群结队靠拢成了一个代用品的神圣城市
在这个神圣城市里
代用品成群结队
一群傻傻的人
大笑，寻根，诅咒，摆弄
聚拢，拯救
当心中欲火降低之时
又是一轮接火热一轮
种子这词创造星星
心的条纹清晰像割钻石一样明确
他们把云，满酒的罐子卖了
喜爱沉浸在干柴烈火，海洋破浪
松开的扣子里
在肥油和双螺旋的结合时
母亲制造一个会做羽毛的父亲
