Letters #4

MISSION

I've worked at my work

I've slept at my sleep

I've died at my death

And now i can leave

Leave what is needed

And leave what is full

Need in the Spirit

And need in the Hole

Beloved, I'm yours

As I've always been

From marrow to pore

From longing to skin

Now that my mission

Has come to its end:

Pray I'm forgiven

The life that I've led

The body I chased

It chased me as well

My longing's a place

My dying a sail

∥ Leonard Cohen，Book of Longing：P, 134

-

任務

我已經在我工作的時候工作

我已經在我睡覺的時候睡覺

我已經在我死亡的時候死亡

現在我可以離開了

離開匱乏

也離開充實

精神上的匱乏

洞穴中的匱乏

愛人，我是你的

一直都是

從骨髓到毛孔

從渴望到皮

既然我的任務

已經結束：

但願我所過的生活

能被寬恕

我追逐我的身體

它也追逐我

我的渴望是一個地方

我的死亡是一片帆

∥ 李歐納科恩著，李三沖譯：渴望之書：P, 135
