mad girl's love song

mad ....

(photo: here)

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;

I lift my lids and all is born again.

(I think I made you up inside my head.)

The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,

And arbitrary blackness gallops in:

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed

And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane.

(I think I made you up inside my head.)

God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade:

Exit seraphim and Satan's men:

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I fancied you'd return the way you said,

But I grow old and I forget your name.

(I think I made you up inside my head.)

I should have loved a thunderbird instead;

At least when spring comes they roar back again.

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

(I think I made you up inside my head.)

~ Sylvia Plath ~

我闔上眼，這世界立即死亡；

我抬起眼，世上一切又重生。

（我想你是我腦海裡虛構出來的。）

星星輕快的舞出藍與紅，

且肆意的黑疾馳而入：

我闔上眼，這世界立即死亡。

我夢見你蠱惑我上床

且為我發狂唱歌，狂吻著我。

（我想你是我腦海裡虛構出來的。）

神從天上傾覆，地獄之火消失：

離開六翼天使及撒旦的男子們：

（我闔上眼，這世界立即死亡。）

我幻想你會回到你說的樣子，

但我已老且忘記你的名字。

（我想你是我腦海裡虛構出來的。）

我應該愛一隻雷鳥做為替代；

至少當春天來時，他們會再次怒吼回來。

我闔上眼，這世界立即死亡。

（我想你是我腦海裡虛構出來的。）
