然後我們驅車
去有彩色玻璃穹頂的暖房
看那株種了兩千年
且用人子的血灌溉過的
十字架
是否開了花

當風琴頭一個忍不住
嗚嗚哭起來的時候
我們便紛紛拿起大衣，知道
今年無論如何
是不會有希望的了

只有那個不死心的管理員
仍在那裡唸唸有辭
一邊亂灑著水

MIDNIGHT MASS

We then drove to the greenhouse
to see if the Cross was in bloom
the Cross that was planted 2000 years ago
the Cross that was once watered
with blood

When the pipe organ became the first one
to break down crying
we all picked up our coats and headed for the door
knowing it was another hopeless year

Only the stubborn caretaker refused to give up
he kept muttering something to himself
while sprinkling the air with water
