野罂粟 - 玛丽昂·迈克雷迪 - 羽佳英文朗读 - 20180625

Wild Poppies

And how do you survive? Your long throat, 

your red-rag-to-a-bull head?

You rise heavy in the night, stars drinking

from your poppy neck.

Your henna silks serenade me 

under the breadth of the Pyrenees.

You move like an opera,

open like sea anemones.

You are earth’s first blood. 

How the birds love you,

I envy your lipstick dress.

You are urgent as airmail, animal red,

Ash Wednesday crosses tattooed on your head.

Your butterfly breath

releases your scents, your secrets, 

bees blackening your mouth 

as your dirty red laundry

all hangs out.
