翻译求助（英译汉）

The poems that broke my heart

are stuffed in the metal cabinet

with tear-stained details of

my son's diagnosis, MSA signatures

of two people who once loved, and

a cold stamp mark for bankruptcy.

They are filed behind the victory poem

of the new deed for this old house

with my name and my name only.

这节诗我彻底没看懂。不敢，也不能瞎猜，特此贴上来请教论坛上的各位老师。

这是一首长诗中的一节，饱经风霜的女诗人早年在韩国教书，并带着家人居住

在韩国，这节诗写家庭中的一场变故，儿子得癌症去世了，诗人写下了此阶段

的心情。456行出现障碍，789行也随之不会理解。

在这里先向各位老师问安致谢，大家帮忙看看到底是什么意思。全诗附在下面，

也欢迎各位尝试完整地翻译，帖上来共同交流学习。标题是Where the Poems Are，

我的翻译是“诗歌存放的地方”。【唐凯  21015.11.24 于大庆 】

Where the Poems Are

by

Anjie Kokan

There are narratives stashed in the basement

inside the pockets of a gray wool coat

that kept me warm my first year

teaching in Korea's bitter winter of '94.

There are plagiarized rhymes

in a box on the closet shelf,

old letters from a first love

who wooed me with Loverboy lyrics

he claimed for his own

My name is engraved in a golden sonnet

once clasped around my wrist by the one

I thought I would marry. It keeps quiet

in the night stand drawer.

A recipe poem for the wildest

rum cake you'll ever taste

spins in Grandma's electric mixer

which I still use, even though it's cracked

and runs with only one beater.

Gossip is detailed in a rant poem (in desperate

need of revision) within the tin tray Coke Girl

who smiles and caters to guests.

An epic has started in the portrait

of the perfect alien family, complete

with planets, drawn with colored pencils

by a young artist whose brother cannot

speak, whose father moved out.

Lined up in the medicine cabinet,

the poems that sting and suffer,

but poems awaiting cotton swab dreams, too.

And on the cluttered counter, a first line

on the tip of my pale rose lipstick that longs

for more.

The poems that broke my heart

are stuffed in the metal cabinet

with tear-stained details of

my son's diagnosis, MSA signatures

of two people who once loved, and

a cold stamp mark for bankruptcy.

They are filed behind the victory poem

of the new deed for this old house

with my name and my name only.

There's a haiku peeping from a young

girl's mirror that has linked

her newly emerged curves

with a vanilla moon.

A sun poem pours its cliche

of light prayer every day through the beveled

glass and onto my dining room floor.

It keeps me going.

And blue poems hide in the nettles

out back, the dying hibiscus, and the crack

in the carriage house window. These blues

linger among smooth sestinas of dragonflies

and bee balm.

But the best poem ever, yet to be written,

is brewing inside you, my love. I'd like

to think we could write it together, starting

now with my lipstick's first line.

论坛把我搞糊涂了。
1.我的旧帖子好像一下子都被置顶了（还是我好久没登录而才看见呢？）
2.求助帖子一直是有浏览而没有回复，是因为我久不来而不理我了吗？（呜呜~~）真正原因是，我这几年教学繁忙 ，上网时间无法保证.....
3.仿佛其他朋友的帖子也不往上帖了。
4.试着给斑竹留言，却被拒绝访问。感觉真的好怪.......我再等两天，如果还是这样，我会自动删除并退出。真的是把我弄蒙了。      

童天鉴日

我先记下来。需要细读。

我也蒙了，楼主的老帖子再次出现了。

哎呀兄弟，你可出来了！

MSA---marital separation agreement

deed---房地契

明白这两个词就不难翻译了。不知楼主是否还有其他疑问？

MSA---marital separation agreement

deed---房地契
