Sarah St Vincent Welch's "sense of time" translated into Chinese by Cui Yuwei

sense of time

Written by Sarah St Vincent Welch

Translated into Chinese by Cui Yuwei

time

I hear you in a stranger’s song in the night

you don’t sleep, nor do I

I taste you in salt tears

the shock and heat of chilli

as it subsides

my longing for the next meal

I touch you in a fold of skin

you smell of earth

I see you in a crack, in a shadow 

《時間》

時間

夜里我聽見一個陌生人在歌唱你

你我都不睡覺

我在鹽眼淚里嚐你

辣椒的衝擊和熱度

慢慢消退

我嚮往下一頓飯

我在皮膚的褶皺里撫摸你

你有大地的氣味

我在縫隙和陰影中看見你
