Fragments of a Letter
Forgive me for always mentioning winter and river in one breathFor talking about the cracking of ice in the air when wild geese fly by
The boat ropes in the lights, and the stars nip at the top of the Tower
People become quiet after coming into the room
They undress and go to bed, facing the wall
The last subway train crosses over the Austerlitz Viaduct
And enters District 13
The face of a drunk flashes from coal cinders in sweet sleep
A man walks in the gigantic night of the city and passes through
The dancing snow and the heavy perfumes of a prostitute
(1998. Paris)

原谅我总是说到冬天说到河说到野鸭飞过时空中的裂冰声
船栓住灯火,星啮咬铁塔的尖顶
回到屋子里的人们沉默着
脱衣上床,面朝一堵墙壁
最后一班地铁翻越奥茨特里斯桥
进入十三区。脸,酩酊的脸
闪动睡眠黑甜的煤渣
一个人在深夜巨大的城市里走着
穿过飞雪和妓女扑鼻的香水
(1998/巴黎)
