Elements After John Thompson’s “The Onion” by Erin Vosters He is toasting spices, tawny cumin  browning in the cast iron pan seasoned weekly in his attention, and the air is hot with it. Windows  open, fan on, each breath  burning at the heart of me. Sometimes I have to walk out, sit on the cool concrete front step, breathe the empty evening before I steep again in the curried air....

大拼盘 翻译：诗验室 是我 是我闻起来像蒜 在他人的创造之上 花了整整一个小时后 香料袋内在自我 从未剪的指甲发散 我切苹果，肌肤 依旧柔软，粗糙 你称之为特权的手 烫伤或刮伤 如今捧着颈静脉 压至骨子里猪样的遗憾 我反感这工作 这难以消除的气味与许久才褪的伤痕 被油烟熏过的脸与刺痛的脚 到最后有吃的 不是给我，或你 而是桌子。

Platters by Jill J.

S 于 Gay 吧 翻译：诗验室 制冷的弹簧床垫拒绝约束  浴室尼古丁如船与船体露台 拎起盖子与风不幸时的 小放纵娃娃闪亮抓住肚脐 绝望的人和低音歌手离开餐馆 到外面潜水错误的入场 被高大的尖兵保护凝结的水珠 与闲聊同性恋自胯部存活下来 的暴力抓住锡箔屋顶与关闭的选项卡 每幅画面都变成副本那里人行道 呕吐物红色错失标记但房子里头是空的 主人已去它被打开且无人问津

S At the Gay Bar by J.B. Kalf The air conditioning mattress with springs refusing to curb  bathroom nicotine like the ship and its hull the patio  lifting the lid and the wind little indulgences  on miseries and dolls flashing grip of the navel desperate men and crooners as exiting the diner and entering the dive outside the wrong entrance protected by the butch vanguard condensatio...

白夜的出生 作者：白昕沄 在床上，我见证 一千万恒星的逃逸 夜一如既往的残忍 一如既往的温热，黏腻 梦里，我又是一条 覆膜的鱼 挤出长齿咀嚼的甬道 继而是一具下沉却未发芽的身体 是今夜的 就全部倾给今夜 初次的心跳，呼吸 比喻，抒情 我依然能阖眼，或湿透 或洄游，到七岁、八岁 到恒星的光与热 与称量不出的不透明的螺旋 那时，一切都该是白的 因为我的记忆 / 遗忘 也不比鱼更加丰富 / 危险 刺痛。 我终又迎来一千万恒星 / 鳞...

荷花阳台 作者：子玄 房间挨着房间好像横生的藕节 门窗禁闭，气孔里塞满秘密 店主长满绒毛的手里举着莲蓬 她说： “ 一枚莲子对应一个 角色，一片花瓣能缝制 一套戏服。 ” 你支付三颗干瘪的莲子，三片 枯萎褪色的花瓣，看着她 用丝线编织出断桥残雪 这里空气多水，带油香的甜味 让你想起荷花酥。 她说 “ 开场 ” 你就被带进 更里面的房间，戏服在你的 胸前打了个死结 首先扮演水黾和它的疏水性 你在浴缸的水面爬行 尝试用波纹示爱 有...

赤裸 作者：李曼旎 如果你有一块砧板我恰好在你手边 想要被切割成数块寄给 不同的你 真实的你、虚假的你 牙牙学语到刚刚学会走路的你 在中学用棒球棍将我击碎的你 初次变成大人的你。 这些你腐烂在相同的时间， 展露出并不存在的內里。 以前写过浪漫的诗里，我说过黄昏 好像是我们的皮肤 拥抱着轻飘飘的空壳。 而如今褪去它的我们 有未及完成的赤裸。

被视为亲密的东西 翻译：诗验室 亲密在这里被视为 抓住相同的激情 明日我将触及你的灵魂 我对裂片不感兴趣。 雾离开我们 与笼住我们 屏幕的速度一样快 清晰多伤人。 这永无止境的牢骚 让我们不用病症式的眼光看待它 而从我们的根部拔出细软的发丝 将它们种在被忘却的土地里。 对抗的简洁不再 火旁待燃的炙热风趣不再 我们将用语言表达自我 我们但愿存在的感受。

What passes for intimacy  by Jill J. Tan What passes for intimacy around here is clutching at passions alike Tomorrow I am going to touch your soul I am not interested in a sliver.  Just as quickly as it smogged  our screens the mist has left us and clarity hurts. This the constant grouse Let us attend to it not symptomatically but pull from our roots fine hairs and plant them in th...

Shanghai Blade translated by PLS the Shanghai blade was handed by you to a gloomy tabletop, glittering like ancient virtues shined upon, such as being punctual all deserving falls of fruits all you need is to listen to the fragile sound of snatching, the late spring in the thicket of whiskers a timely sunset is as important as a timely delay virtues submerged in the water of jade tens of thousands...

上海刀片 作者：张敬成 上海刀片被你 递到灰暗的桌面上，闪闪发光 很像古老的，被照耀的美德，比如守时 所有应得的果实蒂落你只需要听着 脆弱的折断声，胡须丛的晚春 按时落日如同按时迟到一样重要 美德潜在玉质的水中 数以万计，你喜欢形容的，胡须，红蜻蜓 我们无法再度量更多，亿兆，宇宙尺 唱片上每粒小尘埃都是摩擦的信徒 为大于自身的声音倾倒，美丽的摧毁 而我们是它的集合 你交给了我危险的一生 我会于你心脏的狮子洞中听...
