the coffee heating up on the stove 咖啡放在炉子上加热

the sky outside. the color of pure fresh milk. 外面的天空。纯鲜牛奶的颜色。

boil, boil. 疔，疖。

boil, boil. 疔，疖。

   

and the phone ringing, and me picking it up 而电话铃声，还有我拿起它

and watching myself do so 而看着自己这样做

in the quiet room 在安静的房间

   

in the june evening and your voice on the other end 在6月晚上，你的声音在另一端

and the impossibility of your voice on the other end 和语音的另一端是不可能的

and the impossible echo. inside. 和不可能的回声。内。

   

boil, boil. 疔，疖。
