As I swan dive into the estuary, the birds do not flinch at my fall 正如我游潜入河口，鸟不退缩我的秋天

They perch in the rafters, before, during, after: they do not notice me at all 它们栖息在椽子，前，中，后：他们没有注意到我在所有

 

As I float down into the estuary, wind cases my body in cool 当我飘降入海口，风情况下我的身体在阴凉

I smell petrol fumes, see the smoke rise in plumes: the earth is one big fireball 我闻到了汽油味，看到浓烟上升羽：地球是一个大火球

 

Anecdote, lie 轶事，谎言

My own alibi 我自己的不在场证明

I've been telling jokes 我一直在讲笑话

Piled notes high 堆高音符

My own alibi 我自己的不在场证明

I've been selling rope 我已经卖绳

 

As I break the film of the estuary, the seaweed submerges my form 当我打破了河口的电影，海藻淹没我的表单

No passing cars stop, not a single jaw drops, as my wallet and keys sink before. 没有过路车停下来，不是一个单一的下巴滴，因为我的钱包和钥匙之前下沉。

A splash all I left in the world 溅所有我离开世界

 

Once held a magpie in the palm of my hand and the blood in our veins flowed faster, as I'd planned 一旦举行了喜鹊在我的手掌和血液在我们的血管流入速度更快，因为我计划

Got a heart full of love and a head full of more but a fist full of threads from the seams 有一个充满爱，充满了更多的，但拳头全螺纹从接缝头的心脏

and I saw a smile in that beak. 我看到在嘴微笑。

 

Oh I was a bird right then, one day I will be again 哦，我是一只鸟正确的话，有一天我会再次

I've been telling jokes while selling rope to you 我一直在讲笑话，而卖绳子给你

 

There's no ticker-tape, no golden gate 有没有纸带，没有金门

No carnival and no parade 没有狂欢，没有游行

Just one, one for sorrow 只有一个，一个悲伤
