First Things to Hand

编辑:chaxungu时间:2022-10-13 02:54:58分类:英语诗歌

by Robert Pinsky

In the skull kept on the desk.

In the spider-pod in the dust.

Or nowhere. In milkmaids, in loaves,

Or nowhere. And if Socrates leaves

His house in the morning,

When he returns in the evening

He will find Socrates waiting

On the doorstep. Buddha the stick

You use to clear the path,

And Buddha the dog-doo you flick

Away with it, nowhere or in each

Several thing you touch:

The dollar bill, the button

That works the television.

Even in the joke, the three

Words American men say

After making love. Where‘s

The remote? In the tears

In things, proximate, intimate.

In the wired stem with root

And leaf nowhere of this lamp:

Brass base, aura of illumination,

Enlightenment, shade of grief.

Odor of the lamp, brazen.

The mind waiting in the mind

As in the first thing to hand.
