Who's there? 谁在那儿？

   

And I remember 我记得

Lost in the asylum 失去了庇护

Seductive propaganda 诱人的宣传

Scrolling across my mind 在我的脑海滚动

Like guerilla cinema. 像打游击电影院。

   

Belts and wooden spoons 皮带和木匙

Flies in the afterbirth 苍蝇胎衣

Like shadows across my brain 般划过我的大脑阴影

And crawling on linoleum kitchens 和爬行油毡厨房

Streaming death and corporate concienceness into my brain 流死亡及企业concienceness进入我的大脑

And cracked porclein sinks stuffed with 破获porclein汇酿

Dirty dishes. 脏盘子。

   

The early morning anxiety of gradeschool gradeschool凌晨焦虑

Dark stockings to hide the bruises. 黑丝袜隐藏的伤痕。

Secret friends and festive holidays 秘密的朋友和节日假期

And everyone in their sunday best 每个人都在自己的节日盛装

Pretending to like each other. 假装喜欢对方。

   

For generations and generations of 世代与世代

Sad mistakes. 可悲的错误。

Stealing away in the dead of night to 在夜间对死者偷走了

Escape the stiff jawed henchmen in the hungry trucks 逃避饥饿的卡车僵硬下巴心腹

Of an angry slumlord miles and miles away. 愤怒的贫民窟主千里之遥。

   

Impatient and understanding 急躁和理解

Waking on the side of the road 唤醒沉睡在路边

Hissing radiator hoses cracked like 嘶嘶散热器软管龟裂状

Burned skin. 烧伤皮肤。

Days so hot a nuclear holocaust would've felt like siberian blizzard. 天这么热核灾难会一直觉得像西伯利亚的暴风雪。

   

And I remember 我记得

The first time I felt it alive inside me 我第一次觉得活着在我心中

Turning the deadweight 谈到自重

Moving within the folds of its winged embrace 移动它的翅怀抱的褶皱内

Opening and sliding those black feathers 打开和滑动的黑羽

Inches at a time. 英寸的时间。

Those feet 这些脚

Pushing and digging into the membrane 推，挖进膜

Deep enough to cause pregnancy 深足导致怀孕

And I remember it going numb 我记得它会麻木
