奈良
 
往高松塚的路上如夢
櫻花樹下時時遇見花鹿
歇腳在一邊翻看雜誌克勞斯如是說
 
世界末日之際
我願正在隱居
 
坐到法隆寺殿的黃昏瞌睡唯美之迷醉
又有鐵鈴鐺叮叮
送來想像的斑鳩
 
走馬觀花一過
即為葬生之地
 
（2005）
 
Nara Prefecture
 
The path to Takamatsuzuka Tomb is like a dream
glimpses of spotted deer beneath cherry trees
stopping to rest and flipping through a magazine Klaus says
 
When doomsday comes
I want to be living as a hermit
 
Sitting in the dusk at Horyuji Temple and dozing off in aesthetic absorption
the little iron bells ding again
and bring imaginary turtledoves
 
We pass too quickly through
this place of birth and death
 
（2005）
