translation of Her Decoy

In an afternoon tied together by mirages,
Staying quiet till I drift off, fading pale.
If we become fragile “adults” bound in a half-dream,
It turns into a fable, doesn’t it?
Prosaic little secret talk.
A contrasting fairy tale.
A puppet… a made-up story?
Kinda feels like I could get sentimental.
No demons around.
That earlier shadow—
Sloth makes jade-colored rain fall.
Worry creeps up behind me,
And the angel suddenly—
Tells me in that trained, tame voice.
My soot-stained “MacGuffin,”
And you, abandoning me, are the “sal tree.”
That girl’s decoy has turned into a tapestry.
Looks good? Lali, lali.
The colors dull,
Porcelain limbs.
You, half-transparent, look so delicate…
The final flush of heat,
Two little strays,
A chic children’s thriller???
No demons around.
That earlier shadow—
Sloth makes jade-colored rain fall.
Worry creeps up behind me,
And the angel suddenly—
Tells me in that trained, tame voice.
My soot-stained “MacGuffin,”
And you, abandoning me, are the “sal tree.”
That girl’s decoy has turned into a tapestry.
Looks good? Lali, lali.
