Early spring
(Holograph with corrections in red)
Has the embryonic stir
Of hibernal ancient China
Spread all the way down
To this southernmost Peninsula, nerve ending,
So that a vernal drizzle
Awakes the itchy earth
By the bite of teething buds?
Along the rolling slope
On this northern coast,
Chane to pick any stone
And throw to the void of sky and sea
Could, by magic nostalgic,
Become a twittering swallow
And come all the way back from the haunting eaves
Of my long lost childhood

風鈴
(手稿影印本)
四根晶亮的小銀管
管端的細孔用綫穿
垂在玩具木屋的四角
便成了精靈的小樂器
任由過路的風
或是搖擺的車身
即興輕輕地敲弄
那是痴心的情人啊
繫在你翡麗車窗內
後視鏡上的風鈴
只為了一念痴想
每次有鈴聲叮噹
都提醒美麗的車主
別忘了遙遠的南方
在浪打長堤的港上
 從日升到日落
 從星起到星沉
念經一般
長念着她的那人
