Reminders by Jeanne Lohmann

你说你想要在米森的卢卡城
挑选奶酪，带着新切的
索诺玛.杰克奶酪回家，瑞士陈年奶酪，
那美味的乳白色的山羊奶酪
我们涂在早餐面包圈上
咱们，我们两个人，再
到圣弗朗西斯科去，买一条
布丹的裸麦酸面包，
装入一篮子面包和奶酪，
还有水果，一瓶红葡萄酒，
前往公园。我们可以在
灰蒙蒙的湿雾里尽情享用，
我们可爱的快乐
像阳光穿雾而出。
You said you’d pick up cheese
at Lucca’s in the Mission, came home
with fresh-cut Sonoma Jack, aged Swiss,
that delicious creamy goat cheese we
spread on bagels at breakfast.
Let’s go again, both of us,
to San Francisco, buy a loaf
of Boudin’s sourdough rye,
pack a basket of bread and cheese,
fruit, a bottle of red wine,
and head for the park. We can feast
on wet gray fog, our old happiness
breaking through like sunshine.
