黃金風鈴木．Golden Trumpet-tree

親愛的泥土

請接納我們的任性

讓我們躺在您的懷抱裡

撒嬌一下

Dear Dirt

please tolerate our obstinacy.

Let us lie on your arms

And have our pettish way for a while.

＊

春的摺疊．Folding Spring

每一片綠葉子

都是春的摺疊

石頭是這樣儲存

季節

Every green leave

Is spring in folding.

Likewise a stone saves

Seasons.

＊

樹．A Tree

我站在這裡

就是一種風景

就是一首詩歌

鳥會來唱歌

風會來跳舞

陽光會來問候

Standing here

I am a sort of scenery

And a poem.

Birds will come here to sing.

Winds will come here to dance.

Sunshine will come here to greet.

＊

再過一年．One more year

再過一年

就可以退休了

拿著空袋子

要裝些什麼回家

打開回憶的保險箱

一年一次的考績證明

未來的人生

沒有教室也沒有學生

上班的　道　路

要自己尋找

再過一年

對過去的自己說一聲

再見

Ome more year

I am due to retire

Taking some empty bags

I want to pack things home

Then open the safe of my memory

Many an annual service grade certificate are there

For the life ahead

Neither classrooms nor students are awaiting me

For the way to daily work

I’ll have to search anew

One more year

I’ll say good-ny to

The past of my own
