Listen to this article

Coming Home at Night
《夜归》

After braving the music of the air raid alarm
经历了空袭警报的音乐
I hang my shadow on the hat-stand
我把影子挂在衣架上
take off the dog’s eyes (which I use for escape)
摘下那只用于逃命的狗的眼睛
remove my false teeth (these final words)
卸掉假牙,这最后的词语
and close my astute and experienced pocket watch (that garrisoned heart)
合上老谋深算的怀表,那颗设防的心
The hours fall in the water one after the other
一个个小时掉进水里
in my dreams like depth bombs they explode
像深水炸弹在我的梦中爆炸
