你无法扑灭一种火

你无法扑灭一种火——

它点燃自己

兀自蔓延，不需扇风——

在这漫漫长夜——

你无法收起一场洪水——

将它关进抽屉——

因为风会找到它——

再告诉你的松木地板——

You cannot put a Fire out

You cannot put a Fire out—

A Thing that can ignite

Can go, itself, without a Fan—

Upon the slowest Night—

You cannot fold a Flood—

And put it in a Drawer—

Because the Winds would find it out—

And tell your Cedar Floor—
