A Heavenly Body

A Heavenly Body
I remember that cold night sky, the stars so near. We looked up in amazement, at each other just as much as at Orion,standing tall above us. I don't recall any words Isee it as a snapshot, as ifI am Orion, peering down from afar, wondering what will happen next. In reality, I do know. You opened that huge wool coat-the one your uncle had given to a southern boy moving north- and pulled me into your Louisiana sunshine. Now, thisis where I stand with your loss. In unfamiliar silence, looking for you in the night sky. -Kathleen Young

天体
我记得那片寒冷的夜空，星星们是那么的近。我们仰头惊叹头顶之上的猎户星座，也惊叹地看着彼此。那一刻成为一张无言的快照，我似乎成了从远处俯瞰的猎户星座，想知道接下来会发生什么。在现实中，我确实知道。你敞开你那件巨大的羊毛大衣--那是你叔叔送给你这北上的南方男孩的--把我拉入属于你的路易斯安那阳光里。而现在，我站在这里，却没有你。在陌生的寂静中，我在夜空中寻找你的身影。凯思琳-杨
