Theodore Roethke - Cuttings 汉译

Sticks-in-a-drowse droop over sugary loam,
Their intricate stem-fur dries;
But still the delicate slips keep coaxing up water;
The small cells bulge;

One nub of growth
Nudges a sand-crumb loose,
Pokes through a musty sheath
Its pale tendrilous horn.

插枝

西奥多·罗斯克

插在瞌睡中，低垂在糖一般的土上，

它们错综的纤毛干枯了；

但纤巧的枝条还在诱水上升，

微小的细胞在膨胀；

一个生长的节点

把沙屑推松，

苍白的卷须似的触角

穿透了朽烂的芽鞘
