阿米亥“等人的人们”

等人的人们开始相似于
那些不再等待的人们。静寂
遮盖了他们所有人。绝望是首催眠曲。
而当他们夜眠时，上帝违背
Gershom拉比的禁令，打开
他们的灵魂，阅读写在他们灵魂里的东西，
像读一封信。早晨上帝把信塞回去
舔一下信封后合上。
他们永不会知道祂已读过每个字因为
祂用一只艺术家的手把信密封，
像军事检察官。
注：Gershom拉比，(960—1028)，早期阿什肯纳兹犹太部族的犹太权威，最有名的是他在一夫多妻方面的禁令。他也禁止打开寄给别人的信件。
People waiting for someone begin to resemble
those who are not waiting any more.Silence
cover them all.Despire is a lullaby.
And while they are sleeping at night,God violates
the ban of Rabbi Gershom and opens
their soul to read what is written there,
like a letter.In the morning God tucks the letter back in
and licks the envelop shut.
They will never know He has read every word because
He seals the envelop with an artist's hand,
like the military censor.
