We wake as if surprised the other is still there, each petting the sheet to be sure. How have we managed our way to this bed—beholden to heat like dawn indebted to light. Though we’re not so selfimportant as to think everything has led to this, everything has led to this. There’s a name for the animal love makes of us—named, I think, like rain, for the sound it makes. You are the animal after whom other animals are named. Until there’s none left to laugh, days will start with the same startle and end with caterpillars gorged on milkweed. O, how we entertain the angels with our brief animation. O, how I’ll miss you when we’re dead.

我们醒来时好像很惊讶另一个人还在那里，每个人都抚摸着床单以确保。我们是如何走到这张床上的——受惠于黎明之光。虽然我们并没有那么自以为是，认为一切都导致了这个，但一切都导致了这个。动物之爱赋予我们一个名字——我认为，就像雨一样，因为它发出的声音。你是其他动物被命名的动物。在没有人笑之前，日子将以同样的惊吓开始，以毛毛虫饱食乳草结束。哦，我们如何用简短的动画取悦天使。哦，我们死后我会多么想念你。
