 |
|
Suppose you can reach another side of
a dream
by a rope
with one end attached to a rail
and another
swinging in the wind
You never meant to break
a promise
to your wife and daughter
you are the bread-maker
but barely made both ends meet
Suppose you have wings
the ground is becoming soft,
liquefied,
with ripples of blood
and the bridge is drifting
like a boat
without an anchor line
You tried to fly back
suppose the bank is not too far to reach

或
and another
swinging in the wind
You never meant to break
you are the bread-maker （bread-winner吧？）
but barely made (both) ends meet
You tried to fly back
but today is too far to reach
這兩句沒讀明白，已經在今天，怎麽too far to reach？

thanks
the last sentence is not too sure for me too:
The "You" committed suicide, so today this guy does not exist any more

Second 戴玨's first two points.
It seems like there is a hidden story in this poem.
| 引用: |
the ground is becoming soft,
liquefied,
with ripples of blood |
This sounds morbid, horrifying.
I found some spacing a bit distracting.
| 引用: |
Suppose you can reach another side of
a dream
You never meaned to break --sb meant
a promise
to your wife and daughter
you are the bread-maker
but barely made the ends meet
Suppose you have wings |
Don't understand why these lines are double spaced.
Just found out that I couldn't quote the entire message when clicking 'quote'.

No wonder some fonts look slightly different now on my browser.

I prefer the old ones, the sizes fit better.
