食物,对饥饿的人没有意义,
除非食物遥不可及。
饥饿的人,叹了口气,卸下最后的希望,
说:“就这样吧,好极。”
已然绝望后方能轻易地分享,
那曾经煎心焦首的期冀。
就好像,从发黄的香料订货单上,
捕捉隐约的气息,
便足以回忆,那曾埋葬了他整个青春的
东方。
Undue Significance a starving man attaches
To Food -
Far off - He sighs - and therefore - Hopeless -
And therefore - Good -
Partaken - it relieves - indeed -
But proves us
That Spices fly
In the Receipt - It was the Distance -
Was Savory -
