(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

by Ann Townsend

Despair needles you with its whisper，

it is agnostic， it believes in irony¹，

like a fly‘s buzz it is perceptions， a busy

blood clot² that says alive， alive.

I‘m not the stopped motion， the straight line out.

Your garlands are "convivial³， festival， sacrificial，

nuptual， honorary， funebrial."

That spring， when we strolled in the rain，

you bent⁴ to the stone wall‘s alyssum—

bloom， stem， and root， you tore a handful free.

Against your mouth the petals⁵

were a mass of stars winking⁶ out.
