Scenic Route
风景线
For Lucy, ho called them "ghost houses"
致称它们为“鬼屋”的露西
Someone as alays leaving Scenic Route
and never ing back.
The ooden houses ait like old ives
along this road; they are everyhere,
abandoned, leaning, turning gray.
有人总是离开，
且不再回来。
一栋栋木屋像年老的妻子，
等候在这路边；它们随处可见，
被荒弃，倾斜，渐显灰朽。
Someone alays traded
the lonely beauty
of hemlock and stony lakeshore
for survival, packed up his life
and drove off to the city.
In the yards, the apple trees
keep hanging on, but the fruit
gros smaller year by year.
有人总是为了生计
放弃铁杉和石砌的湖岸
那孤独的美，
打点好人生的行李包
驱车前往城市。
院子里的苹果树
一直都有结果，只是果子
一年比一年小。
When e e this ay again,
the trees ill have gone ild,
the houses collapsed, not even orth
the human act of breaking in.
Fields ill have taken over.
当我们再次踏上这条路，
树木早已疯长，
房子坍塌了，甚至不值得
人们破门而入。
田野会取而代之。
What e ill recognize
is the ind, the same fierce ind,
hich has no history.
我们将认出的
是风，同样狂野的风，
它没有过去。
