非马的诗
吻
1
猛力
想从对方口中
吸出一句
谁都不敢先说的
话
2
你的唇吻暖我的唇
或我的唇吻暖你的
都无关紧要
重要的是
我们仍有话要说
并试着把它说
好
Poem of William Marr
KISSING
1
both trying so hard
to suck out
the words
that neither dares
to utter
first
2
It makes no difference
your lips kissing my lips
or my lips kissing yours
What is important
is that we still have something to say
to each other
and try to say it
well
