经典诗歌:风景线 Scenic Route  

For Lucy
who called them "ghost houses".
Someone was always leaving Scenic Routeand never ing wooden houses wait like old wivesalong this road; they are everywhereabandoned
leaning
turning gray.
Someone always tradedthe lonely beautyof hemlock and stony lakeshorefor survival
packed up his lifeand drove off to the the yards
the apple treeskeep hanging on
but the fruitgrows smaller year by year.
有人总是为了生计，放弃铁杉和石砌的湖岸那孤独的美，打点好人生的行李包，驱车前往城市。院子里的苹果树一直都有结果，只是果子一年比一年小。
When we e this way again
the trees will have gone wild
the houses collapsed
not even worththe human act of breaking ds will have taken over.
What we will recognizeis the wind
the same fierce windwhich has no history.
