Karen Kun’s Translation #10 - from Kerri Shying’s “Shot Through with History"

Shot Through with History

Scars are much more mutable
than we imagine
 the skin
not just receiving
of the blow the slice the shot nor
displaying such to order

sand dunes of the dermis
scars raising lowering to
the call of another 
force majeure

stories trapped
like banshees
within one thin flesh shell

穿透歷史


疤痕
比想像的皮膚
更可變
不只承受
風吹 刀切 槍彈
面對命令
也不為所動

真皮疤痕的沙丘
升起
消退
如電話來電般
不可抗力

被困的故事如
包裹在一層薄肉殼內的女妖
