Any Younger
不再年轻
July 27, 2026
Only some of me
is here on Earth.
Like when I close my
coat in the car door—
the rest is outside.
I say this to assure
我只有一部分在此人间。就像关车门时夹住了外套——其余的部分还在外面。我这样说，是想让你放心，
you that you’ve harmed
just part of me;
the remainder can’t,
from this lapis planet,
be remotely reached.
I say this to teach.
你伤害的只是我的一部分；剩下的那部分，从这颗青金石般的星球上，根本无法触及。我这样说，是想让你明白。
Better luck next time.
Kiss the blue gem
in its bezel setting. And
better hurry. Happy
birthday. Guess
what you’re not getting.
下次祝你好运。亲吻镶在底座上的蓝色宝石吧。最好快一点。生日快乐。猜猜你不会得到什么。
