           〈樹與詩人的對話〉

樹說

我們比人類幸運

不必花一生的時間

去等待輪迴――

在冬天裡死去

在春天裡活來

詩人說

冬天與春天

黑夜與白晝

每個心跳

每回呼吸

每次眨眼

都是我的輪迴——

在一首陳腐的詩中死去

               在一首嶄新的詩中活來

樹說

DIALOGUE BETWEEN A TREE AND A POET

A tree says

we are more fortunate than humans

Without having to wait a lifetime

for the chance of transmigration—

we die in winter

and rejuvenate in spring

A poet says

winter and spring

night and day

every heartbeat

every breath

every blink

all are my transmigrations—

I die in an obsolete verse

and am reborn in a brand-new poem
