Vol.32我是一名黑人、同性恋、诗人、母亲和战士|奥黛丽·洛德《癌症日记》

“如果生而为诗人、生而在前线是有意义的，那么这个意义就在此时此刻。脆弱就是我的盔甲。”——Audre Lorde

 Today Is Not the Day（节选）

I can’t just sit here

staring death in her face

blinking and asking for a new name

by which to greet her

I am not afraid to say

unembellished

I am dying

but I do not want to do it

looking the other way.

Today is not the day.

It could be

but it is not.

Today is today

….

This could be the day.

I could slip anchor and wander

to the end of the jetty

uncoil into the waters

a vessel of light  moonglade

ride the freshets to sundown

and when I am gone

another stranger will find you

coiled on the warm sand

beached treasure   and love you

for the different stories

your seas tell

and half-finished blossoms

growing out of my season

trail behind

with a comforting hum.

But today

is not the day.

Today.

[April 22, 1992]
