Birthday

She lives in this house over there, has her world outside it.
她只在房間的此處生活，周圍是整個世界
Grapples with the earth with her fingers and her mouth, she's five years old.
五歲時她用雙手和嘴唇與泥土玩耍
Thread worms on a string, keeps spiders in her pocket, collects fly-wings in
將蠕蟲連串，將蜘蛛置於口袋，收集飛蟲
A jar scrubs horse flies and pinches them on a line. she's got one friend
將馬蜂囚於小罐並整成一排，她又有了一個朋友
He lives next door, they listen to the weather, he knows how many freckles
他就在另一扇門後，聽著天氣預報，他知道她臉上
she's got,
雀斑何時長消
She scratches his beard . she's painting huge books, glues them together,
她拉扯他的鬍鬚，她繪作大大的畫本，用膠水將它們粘結
They saw a big raven; it glided down the sky, she touched it.
他們看見巨大的貓頭鷹從天空飛下來，她觸摸了它

今天是她的生日，他們抽著雪茄，手裡拿著一束鮮花
Today's a birthday, they're smoking cigars, he got a chain of flowers,
將自由的精靈縫於她的衣襟，他們抽著雪茄，在盛滿鮮花的浴缸裡躺下
Sows a bird in her knickers, they're smoking cigars, lie in the bathtub, chain of flowers.
