最近讀到這首詩，有一些地方覺得很困惑，但又找不到資料， 不知道是否有人可解答一下^^ Coming Home Detroit, 1968 A winter Tuesday, the city pouring fire, Ford Rouge sulfurs the sun, Cadillac, Lincoln, Chevy gray. The fat stacks of breweries hold their tongues. Rags, papers, hands, the stems of birches dirtied with words. Near the freeway you stop and wonder what came off, recall the snowstorm where you lost it all, the wolverine, the northern bear, the wolf caught out, ice and steel raining from the foundries in a shower of human breath. On sleds in the false sun the new material rests. One brown child stares and stares into your frozen eyes until the lights change and you go forward to work. The charred faces, the eyes boarded up, the rubble of innards, the cry of wet smoke hanging in your throat, the twisted river stopped at the color of iron. We burn this city every day. 這首詩應該是在講底特律的歷史吧，i guess 但是第一句我時在不懂在講什麼 原本以為是在講1805年六月在底特律發生的一場大火 但查了資料那場大火發生在六月，所以和一開頭的"winter Tuesday"沒辦法符合 之後在第二個stanza作者又提到"recall the snowstorm where you lost it all" 感覺應該是有互相呼應 似乎fire這個意象在這首詩裡還蠻重要的 但實在不知道該怎麼解讀 有人可以幫幫我嗎^^ 謝謝 --
