内地
下午有一座房子在地平线上蒸发
沼泽之海无风
平坦如排水沟   褐色涨大升起
在那里安静的云堆突然转向绵延
如另一个空间

鸥们在空中徘徊着  寻找它们的灵魂
北爱尔兰问题
两个小小的女孩
在一辆小汽车旁边追逐嬉戏着……

你说要多少土地城池
才抵得上她们被炸断的手指头？

九月的蒲公英
太阳硬币
（记着！）

消失掉变成一只绒毛球
一团颤动的白色

（她爱我
她不爱我—）

在路边轻轻地吹着
停下了
一点点动静

一点点呼吸
西比尔岬附近的农民
他弯下身去像这个半岛
并不孤独
尽管充满了无法抵达的阴郁
他穿过门

既然只有灵魂才真实
我们所有的人就会在
天国的茅纳斯泰勒文相遇

夏日将沿着拜洛河升起
有树木和高地
罂粟花   一只云雀的歌声也升起了

你穿着最喜欢的连衣裙
发夹和蝴蝶结丝带
系在你又长又亮的头发上

你的微笑会告诉我们
整个宇宙的含义
哀歌
你喜爱的音乐像秋天填满了哀伤
我们漫步的地方我却再不能面对
花儿都不像花儿日子也变得暗淡
随着你离去落叶飘离了我的心头

flat as drainwater the swells of browns rising

like another dimension

AND SINCE THE SPIRIT ALONE IS REAL
WE SHALL ALL MEET AGAIN IN
SOME OTHER MONASTEREVIN

SUMMER WILL BE RISING ALONG THE BARROW
WITH TREES AND HIGH FIELDS
POPPIES A LARK’S SONG CLIMBING

AND YOU IN YOUR FAVOURITE DRESS
SLIDES AND BUTTERFLY RIBBONS IN YOUR
LONG SHINY HAIR

AND YOUR SMILE WILL EXPLAIN TO US
THE MEANING OF THE WHOLE UNIVERSE

REQUIEM

music you loved has filled like autumn with sadness
and places we used to be I can hardly bear
flowers are less than flowers days are of-darkness
something fell like a leaf when you went away
