Always Something
Peter Fallon
 
 
There's always something --
 a trail of bindweed（旋花类植物） 
 trumpeting September 
 the length of field wall 
 and worn fences; that clamp 
 of silage（青贮） an ember（灰烬，余烬） 
 
on the left as you leave here, 
 smouldering 
 on the slab 
 of Napers' yard on winter 
 mornings; a lace pattern 
 in the tractor cab 
 
that's a dew-silvered 
 spider's web; new grass 
 a light veil of green mist 
 along the furrowed（有沟痕的） 
 brow of earth 
 it barely kissed: 
 
a pledge of hay. 
 House martins on their lap 
 of honour around the house earn 
 our applause 
 as we concelebrate 
 the victory of their return. 
 
Always something --
 the hedgerow（灌木篱墙） where 
 haw blossom simmered 
 and boiled over 
 in the heat of May; that smell 
 where honeysuckle shimmered1
 
after a spill of rain. Spiders 
 perform high-wire acts 
 without a safety net. 
 A pheasant dives 
 into a pool of air. 
 Fireworks beget 
 
ragwort's 
 rank alchemy（点金术，魔力） of August 
 while manes of gossamer 
 wave in the currents 
 of low sky, windblown 
 on the horse of summer. 
 
Crosshatch design 
 of elderberry bark 
 like harbour ropes in watery 
 sway -- and all the while, 
 'way in the west, a trawler（拖网渔船） 
 marries port to sea, 
 
the gulls2' cheers in its wake 
 a bridal train 
 behind a sudsy（起泡沫的） wedding dress. 
 Always something ... And now,
 tell me again, who was it exactly 
 you were trying to impress.
