山巅之城 S2 E3

E3 Is The Total Black, Being Spoken

今天的分集标题来自美国作家及活动家Audre Lorde的诗Coal。显然Siobhan的妈妈醉酒后曾坐在吧台上朗诵过这首诗。

I

Is the total black, being spoken

From the earth's inside.

There are many kinds of open.

How a diamond comes into a knot of flame

How a sound comes into a word, coloured

By who pays what for speaking.

//

Some words are open

Like a diamond on glass windows

Singing out within the crash of passing sun

Then there are words like stapled wagers

In a perforated book—buy and sign and tear apart—

And come whatever wills all chances

The stub remains

An ill-pulled tooth with a ragged edge.

Some words live in my throat

Breeding like adders. Others know sun

Seeking like gypsies over my tongue

To explode through my lips

Like young sparrows bursting from shell.

Some words

Bedevil me.

//

Love is a word another kind of open—

As a diamond comes into a knot of flame

I am black because I come from the earth's inside

Take my word for jewel in your open light.

剧情上看，Rohr与德考西之间的敌对情绪继续发酵，有愈演愈烈之势。

吉米-瑞恩的结局出乎意料，似乎又早就注定如此。Cathy似乎一开始便是打算吃干抹净，没留后路。

本集歌曲都是波士顿本地出品，Aerosmith的“Eat The Rich”以及Morphine乐队的“Cure For Pain”。
