Weeks since you touched me, and not evenin bed, but visiting your home country, we had each other on the floor.Our reason, our daughter, curled on the mattress, pillow-buttressed, so asleepwe worried she was dead. Past worlds whir in my headwhen I drop her off at day care to make time for the money I earnto keep her alive – like the city I mastered finding a parking place by the river fastereven than I wanted to, the city where I ate the scone laced with lavender, toppedwith salt, again and again, the city where I leased an apartment that lookedjust like nineteenth century France, like Emma Bovary’s place, with nature brought in by forceas fine prints and fake antiques – my world you pierced when you left your wife, then I becameyour wife and we became a different worldbecause my father gave me away

婚姻

自从您碰我几周以来，不是在床上，而是在探访您的祖国，我们彼此在地板上。我们的原因是我们的女儿curl缩在床垫上，靠着枕头支撑着，所以睡着了，我们担心她已经死了。当我在日托中心放下她，为赚取她维持生计的金钱腾出时间时，过去的世界world绕在我的头上-就像我精通的城市一样，我在河边找到停车位的速度甚至比我想的要快，这是我吃烤饼的城市一次又一次地在薰衣草上撒上盐，我在那座城市租了一套公寓，看上去就像十九世纪的法国，就像艾玛·博瓦里（Emma Bovary）的住所，大自然被精美的印刷品和假古董带入–当你离开时，我的世界被刺穿了妻子，然后我成为了妻子，我们成为了一个不同的世界，因为父亲把我送走了
