Delusion

sleep is to imitate death

again she beds down dreams,this time

she surveys the structure of her hand

from an empty door pushing open another door

this moment we can no longer tell

whether it is a hand prepared for war, or

a hand saved up for gender-keeping

cooperative fingers

point upwards, or refuse

sometimes chirping

it predicts

one day

there will be a child

who wrecks her belly

there will be a black box

to put in

the entire process

of her stillness

幻觉

睡觉就是在模仿死亡

她又把梦睡了一遍，这一遍

她观察手的结构

从一扇空洞的门推开另一扇门

此刻已经无法辨别

那是为战争准备的手，还是

为性别保留的手

手指的配合

或向上，或拒绝

有时候会自己发声

它大胆预言

未来

必将有个婴儿

来毁掉她的腹部

必将有只

黑色的盒子

来装下她

静止的全部过程
