酷我-北美枫

[anna]

If I die
please feel free to take
whatever you like and what is still useful:
my heart, my hands, my knees;
and my face, which has been acclaimed as exuding grace,
how surprise now, the eyes could not hold mystery any more…

I will be sad to know that, indeed.
Not fearing death, but the lost beauty.
I will leave my books, my poems to you
who claim that they survive all time.
I do believe it may make a fortune
although I could never live to see that.

In poetry, I have tasted,
touched, felt other worlds
still there are plenty I could not reach.

The fish in the house will sigh-
Ah, after all she never learns how to swim.

But heaven is ocean-wide,
no trap at all,
air is all around.
In the dream, I am smiling.
