In fall

The year you grew to be six feet
你长到了六英尺高
I tempered my fear into haste

A worry that dogged our mother

She the baby of three asked how
作为三兄妹中最小的她追问
So many things could take flight at once
为何这么多事物会突然消逝
There are no easy answers
这问题没有简单答案
And even thirteen I
即便十三岁的我
Could not think of a sure reply
想不出确切的回答
At the church where I was baptized
在我受洗的教堂外
Our father refused to park near the crowd

At that time
那时
I still believed in god or faeries

Or that the air could catch on fire
相信空气会突然燃烧
When you and your friends

Took off on separate routes
各自踏上不同路途
I wanted to follow you

But our mother said I was not allowed to

You had not yet learned how to fill

Such a broad frame
如此宽阔的肩膀
That winter you said

You hated your body

But when spring came
但当春风吹拂时
You'd learned how to speak

And you moved out west

To watch the ocean eat the coast away
看海浪侵蚀着海岸线
I can still remember that day you left
仍记得你离去那天的模样
Thoughts spilling out from my chest
心事如潮涌出胸膛
Like

Who will you be when you come back
归来时你会变成怎样
Or even
