Late September 英文诗词

by Charles Simic

The mail truck goes down the coast

Carrying a single letter.

At the end of a long pier

The bored seagull lifts a leg now and then

And forgets to put it down.

There is a menace in the air

Of tragedies in the making.

Last night you thought you heard television

In the house next door.

You were sure it was some new

Horror they were reporting，

So you went out to find out.

Barefoot， wearing just shorts.

It was only the sea sounding weary

After so many lifetimes

Of pretending to be rushing off somewhere

And never getting anywhere.

This morning， it felt like Sunday.

The heavens did their part

By casting no shadow along the boardwalk

Or the row of vacant cottages，

Among them a small church

With a dozen gray tombstones huddled close

As if they， too， had the shivers.
