（单词翻译）

 They are in the botanical garden, near the Cathedral of All Saints. She sees one tear and leans forward and licks it, taking it into her mouth.（ As she has taken the blood from his hand when he cut himself cooking for her. Blood. Tear.） He feels everything is missing from his body, feels he contains smoke. All that is alive is the knowledge of future desire and want. What he would say he cannot say to this woman whose openness is like a wound, whose youth is not mortal yet. （He cannot alter what he loves most in her, her lack of compromise, where the romance of the poems she loves still sits with ease in the real world. Outside these qualities he knows there is no order in the world. This night of her insistence1. 

Twenty-eighth of September. The rain in the trees already dried by hot moonlight. Not one cool drop to fall down upon him like a tear. This parting at Groppi Park. He has not asked if her husband is home in that high square of light, across the street. He sees the tall row of traveller’s palms above them, their outstretched wrists. The way her head and hair were above him, when she was his lover. ）
Now there is no kiss. Just one embrace. He untugs himself from her and walks away, then turns. She is still there. He comes back within a few yards of her, one finger raised to make a point. “I just want you to know. I don’t miss you yet.” His face awful to her, trying to smile. （Her head sweeps away from him and hits the side of the gatepost. He sees it hurt her, notices the wince2. But they have separated already into themselves now, the walls up at her insistence. Her jerk, her pain, is accidental, is intentional3. Her hand is near her temple. ）
