金髮碧眼的凱特琳

或許因為她滿滿的柔情和渴求

會讓人以為她是輕浮的女子。

可她不過是個

極盡溫柔的女人，

深愛她的孩子，

每天清晨整理自己的家。

 

被剝奪了愛

被拋棄，

她唯有從路人

和公車司機的眼裹搜尋愛，

向人行橫道索求一個微笑，

在每一個路口

期待

某個奇跡。

Mother: Jeanette

Occupation: Housewife

 

Perhaps

because she is so feminine,

so full of desires,

Catherine the Blonde

gives the impression

that she is frivolous.

But she is only a woman

filled with tenderness,

who loves her children

and tidies her house every morning.

 

Deprived of love

she searches for it in the eyes of passers by,

in the eyes of the bus driver.

She begs

a smile from the pavement,

at every crossroad

expects

a miracle.
