[以色列]埃德娜•阿佩克 因他将至（外三首，颜海峰 译）
[Israel]Edna Aphek
For He Will Come (and other three poems)
Not as a pugilist
So as not to mar my face,
So that it will be whole when Ezekiel arrives.
Not as Don Quixote
So I would not be borne by the breeze
When the bone -gatherers come.
Not as Harlequin
So I will not wear a mask
When the truth seekers come.
Not as thunder that might rip my skin drums
So I will not hear the cry of the Phoenix
When it rises from the ashes.
May he come as soft fog,
As light drizzle that gently unties my pains one -by -one .
Death, My Death
Put your hand in mine
I’m yours and now, you’re mine.
(Translated from the Hebrew by Daniel Mayer)
Out of the Closet
When my mother died
My father’s attire came
Out of the closet
Forty suits each per year of
Her widowhood
Kept her safe
From life.
Black and brown his footwear
Leaped out of the closet
Soiled with
The dew of my tears.
Outcast
The nakedness of this tree smites me:
Is this the tree for which we were cast out?
Its leaves lie on the soil.
The weeping of my aging body.
Sundown
Sundowns are lovely.
The day breaks tomorrow.
Mortal sundown
Isn't lovely at all.
Without any passion
No day shall break
(if ever it did).
I’ve no love for decay,
for excretions,
for odor.
I’ve no love for this sundown.
Were I a sun-starlet,
A tiny wee sun-chip,
A slight inkling twinkling,
I'd wish:
A dip into depths,
But a bit
Different.
(Translated from the Hebrew by Robert Kissel)
[以色列]埃德娜•阿佩克
因他将至（外三首）
不像拳击手
这样，以西结来时
我的脸才会完好，不被玷污
不像堂吉诃德
这样，拾骨者来时
我就不会随风而动
不像哈雷金
这样，真理寻求者来时
我就不会戴上面具
不像那可能撕裂我皮鼓的雷电
这样，凤凰涅槃于灰烬时
我就不会听到他的哭声
愿他能像轻雾飘来
像逐一抚平我伤痛的细雨绵丝
死神，我的死神
伸出你的手来
我是你的，现在，你也是我的
(丹尼尔•迈尔译自希伯来语）
翻出衣橱
母亲去世时
父亲的衣物
从衣柜里翻了出来
她守寡的40年里
每年一套常服
使她远离生活
中的险虞
他穿过的鞋，黑的棕的
从衣橱里蹦出来
被我的泪水
打上印痕
见弃者
这棵树的赤裸让我心头一颤——
这就是那棵让我们被驱逐的树吗
所有树叶贴躺于土壤
我衰朽的身躯在哭嚎
日落
日落惹人怜
天明于明天
凡朽的日落
并不惹人怜爱
没有任何激情
也没有天明
(即便曾经天明)
我不爱衰败
排泄
或者腐臭
也不爱这日落
如果我是一个小太阳
一个微小的太阳芯片
一次轻微的光泽闪烁
我希望——
浸入深渊，
但有一点
特别
（罗伯特•吉泽尔译自希伯来语；Tr. Brent Yan，木樨颜 汉译)
