On a tranquil afternoon, small sounds

寂靜的下午總有奇異的微響

of dry leaves, flowing tea, cups lightly touched.

樹葉枯乾，茶水流動，杯碟輕輕碰擊

Spaces form, and change each other’s shape.

一些空間形成，改變著形狀

Something mentioned from the past,

一些逝去的人和事

a name.

被提起

Someone stands

然後有人站起來

returning to the page, the work.

去工作或看書

Softly the door closes.

或把門輕輕帶上

Breeze moves a thin curtain.

風吹動薄薄的帘子

Beyond the window, the season’s trees

窗外，季節和樹木的顏色

shift color.

遷移
