《拜水之赐》(之六)林木译
——和弗里达•卡罗

这是它终结的样子——
我躺在浴缸中
当水破裂
我的皮肤闪着羊膜
   条纹的星光。

水继续裂开
随着我倒转出我的躯体

我的生命在银色表面上舞蹈
那儿仙人掌开花。

屋顶敞开了
   我在火中浮升。

雨如荆棘扎入我。我有个蒸汽面纱。
我猛然坐直任太阳的光芒拥抱我。

水,你是蕾丝婚袍
从我的头上滑下,我的死诞生。

当我焚烧时我紧紧穿着你——
   不要让我回来。

What the Water Gave Me (VI)   by Pascale Petit
after Frida Kahlo

This is how it is at the end –
me lying in my bath
while the waters break,
my skin glistening with amnion,
     streaks of starlight.

And the waters keep on breaking
as I reverse out of my body.

My life dances on the silver surface
where cacti flower.

The ceiling opens
    and I float up on fire.

Rain pierces me like thorns. I have a steam veil.
I sit bolt upright as the sun’s rays embrace me.

Water, you are a lace wedding-gown
I slip over my head, giving birth to my death.

I wear you tightly as I burn –
    Don’t make me come back.
