(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

by Joanna Goodman

Tell the truth： no key appeared in your mouth，

no sound like mum， which wouldn't help anyway.

Give me a word to get through the night.

Something spontaneous， fluid：

see the hand's unintended imprint¹ on the shore，

fireworks dissolving into the black sky——

Try now. Ripple². Yes.

Put the two of us in a boat on the gray river；

keep rowing in a circle while on the hazy³ banks

clumps⁴ of grass swarm⁵ and echo the rhythm of words

we had once spoken： after this， mistake me for someone else.

Sleep no more. Wave. Wave. That's love enough.
