Bad Sheep

Hailey Leithauser

Midnight's merely blue,

but me, me, me, I'm

through

and through

sloe, cracked soot-

on-a-boot,

nicotine（尼古丁） spat¹, licorice（甘草汁） whip.

You can scratch, scratch, scratch

but I stay underskin true

to ebony（乌木，黑檀）, ink, crowberry（岩高兰）, pitch;

hoist me up by my hooves

and shake till I'm shook, I'm still

chock full of coke, fuliginous

murk.

O there's swart in my soul,

coal by the bag,

cinders and slag,

scoriac grit², so please

come, comb

through my fleece with hands pallid

as snow and watch

how they grow tarry, raven,

stygian, ashed --

or, if you wish, clean me with bleach

I won't

flinch, just char

down to a core of caliginous（昏暗的）

marrow,

pure carbon, atramentous（黑色的）,

utterly piceous（沥青色的）,

shadowed, and starless,

each clumpity clump

and eclipse of my heart raptly

reburnishing

a woolgather（胡思乱想） dark.
