Listening to Elliott Smith (聽艾略特‧史密斯)


圖:"Music I" by Klimt


-To Miss Versatile

I see him
playing guitar
with tiresome eyes but happy smiles.
When the soulful melody sinks
into my bones,
I realize you are here, too.

I see you
chanting his poem
in a passionate tone.
Suddenly I know
you two met before birth.
And I am new here
sitting, listening,
and sometimes raising questions
as a student of yours.

—致薇思曇女士

我看見他
彈奏著吉他
眼神疲憊卻帶著微笑
當深情的旋律滲入
我的骨隨
我知道妳亦在此

我看見妳
吟誦他的詩
以熱切的聲調
我忽然領悟
你倆早在出生前相識
而我初來乍到
端坐著、聆聽著
並不時提問
一如你們的學生
