英文诗歌:Epitaph X

  by Thomas Heise

英文诗歌:Epitaph X

  My birthright I have traded for a petal dress

  and a summer eulogy. I have pawned my soul

  for this opal ring, the color of a pale, taxidermied eye.

  If I could carry calla lilies on my shoulder once more

  like an umbrella in daylight, I would lean them

  on the cemetery gate and sleep until the groundskeeper found me.

  For some of us, beauty is carcinoma.

  The saint‘s stigmata is god’s rose, bestowed

  for forgoing a human lover, who will, of course, die.

  I died last year. My mother made her tears into crystal

  earrings and clipped them to my ears. “Son, you will

  pay for your sin,“ my father spoke from his throne of glass.

  Stars burn a sharp, white nacre until they evaporate.

  The moon‘s flamingo unfolds her iodine wings over the broken city.

  My necropolis. My teeth are the fruit of your olive tree.
