My Babe Monstor

---To Thesis

 

I was a child unfamiliar to life,

Married to my blind passion.

I was pregnant with you,

My invisible babe.

You had been sleeping all day

And growing up silently in my brain.

 

You were a gluttonous babe

Absorbing my train of thought

And my happiness and hopes

As your essential nutrition.

I got a migraine afterwards,

And fell ill with no fixed schedule.

 

My heart broke each time I thought of you,

My dearest babe.

When my youth was wandering on the pages,

My dream could never escape from the hard covers.

In the labyrinth of books,

How dazzling I was when I kept vomiting words.

You were doomed to be malnourished,

A fateful freak.

 

My babe monster,

I gave birth to you under my fingertips.

You, so unsightly, but do not worry.

I would apply cosmetics on you every day and night,

Until the venerable professors hold you in their arms.

 

Yet I had to hold a public hearing for you,

And disguised you as a hopeful child in advance.

I would shout myself blue in the face,

Until the stern judges throw an unwilling smile to you.

 

 

Afterwords: It is the Enlgish translation of 〈我的妖怪娃娃〉. The cat in the photo is Rice Ball, the son of Vickey.

怎麼了
不是應該要翻成法文去段稿詩人之春才對嗎?
