LINES FOR WINTER Tell yourself
as it gets cold and gray falls from the air
that you will go on
walking, hearing
the same tune no matter where
you find yourself --
inside the dome of dark
or under the cracking white
of the moon´s gaze in a valley of snow.
Tonight as it gets cold
tell yourself
what you know which is nothing
but the tune your bones play
as you keep going. And you will be able
for once to lie down under the small fire
of winter stars.
And if it happens that you cannot
go on or turn back and you find yourself
where you will be at the end,
tell yourself
in that final flowing of cold through your limbs
that you love what you are
告诉你自己吧 当天气转冷，灰暗从天而降
你将继续
前行，听着
同样的曲子，不必理会
在哪里找到你自己——
黑暗的穹隆里，
或是雪谷中，月亮凝望的
咯兹作响的白色下。
今夜，当天气转冷
告诉你自己吧
你所知的全属虚无
只是当你继续赶路时
骨骼奏响的曲子。有朝一日
你终会躺下，在冬日之星
小小的火焰下。
如若那样——你不能
前进或是回头，在即临的终点
你找到你自己，
告诉你自己吧
在穿过你四肢的最后的寒流中，
你爱你所是的一切。
tight-lipped
沉默，缄默
例句：
The company spokesperson remained tight-lipped about the arrangement for the takeover, and she refused to give out any information.
公司发言人对兼并一事的安排保持沉默，她拒绝提供任何信息。
