Coming out from the smoky casino
after losing his shirt
the old man with bloodshot eyes
was thrilled to find
the setting sun
brilliant and round
on the horizon

eagerly he grasped his last chip
and threw it
into the black hole
of the universe

〈賭城之戀〉

一個輸得精光的老人
從煙霧瀰漫的賭場鑽了出來
滿眼血絲
抬頭喜見天邊
還剩有一個
紅彤彤圓滾滾的
夕陽

便一把抓下
孤注一擲叮噹投入
張著老虎般大口的
宇宙黑洞

GOOD MEDICINE

in herbal medicine
the bitter the better

yet as a poet
I find its just the opposite

a gentle breeze
a sweet chirp
a blooming flower
a green leaf
an innocent smile
a lively melody
especially

a good poem a day
keeps the doctor away

〈良藥〉

良藥苦口
是中醫的說法

做為詩人
我卻發現

一陣清風
一聲鳥鳴
一朵花
一片葉
一個微笑
一段好曲
特別是

一天一首好詩
會讓醫生無所事事
