(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

by Muriel Rukeyser

In the cave with a long-ago flare¹

a woman stands， her arms up. Red twig²， black twig， brown twig.

A wall of leaping darkness over her.

The men are out hunting in the early light

But here in this flicker³， one or two men， painting

and a woman among them.

Great living animals grow on the stone walls，

their pelts⁴， their eyes， their sex， their hearts，

and the cave-painters touch them with life， red， brown， black，

a woman among them， painting.
