Scope and Contents

1 sheet ; 30 x 21 cm. Holograph with corrections in red. A poem (Note 2)

Dusk is a sneaky spider
That steals across the water,
Trotting on its multiple legs
With no trace on the tranquil sea.
You never know exactly where
The landing is to be
And find only too late,
At a backward glance,
That we have been captured all
In the vastness of its webs

Scope and Contents 1 sheet ; 30 x 21 cm. Holograph with corrections in red. A poem (Note 2)If the evening is a lonely fortress,The west gate open to sunset glow,Why are all the travellers on horsebackThat hurry allowed only a passage outAnd never an admission in?And once out they're all ambushedWith sunset clouds turned black flagsAnd the west gate closed behind-- Often I asked the garrison,But was answered only by batsFlitting over, ah, an empty...

鱈岬上空的卷雲, 2000-08-19

 Item — Box: 1, Item: 21
Identifier: 0017_PER_YuKC_Series_1_Folder_1_Item_21
Scope and Contents

手稿 1 葉;30 x 21 cm. 有紅色修正。詩一首 (Note 2)

無緣無故地
高不可睇的藍水晶拱頂上
忽然飄過來這一綹輕紗
似飛似浮,似捲似舒
似一隻慵懶的白孔雀在午睡
想必是久晴的長風
要測試它一氣能吹多遠
能把這虛幻的風箏
放到究竟多高的空際
——那樣凜洌的最上頂層
所有的鷹隼都被迫放棄
天使們全都警覺了
「夠高了吧,夠高了
神就要被冒犯了」
說着,就將它沒收了

牙關, 2008-02-04

 Item — Box: 1, Item: 8
Identifier: 0017_PER_YuKC_Series_1_Folder_1_Item_8
Scope and Contents

手稿(葉 1-2);30 x 21 cm. 。詩一首 (Note 2)

不容你悠然尋夢的
躺椅,已經躺上去
正待咬緊牙關
效烈士之臨難
卻要我大開獅口

吼,是休想吼了
也不知讓舌頭
去何處避難
只能把心一橫
把眼睛閉關

傳來清脆的音响
該是金屬碰瓷盤
或挑,或挖
或磨,或刮
精緻的一整套刑具

忽然迴旋梯底
向耳根的深處
是誰呀用一架電鑽
高分貝的頻率哪
在我的牙床開礦

在偵查我的腐敗
捉拿潛伏在暗處
不堪曝光的隱私
地下水冷冷漱過
有一點消毒的藥味

一遍又一遍刑求
只為了逼出口供
該吐的都吐了實了
那白袍法官說
好了,竟把我放了
