一枚蟬殼
趴伏在一棵龍眼的
樹幹上

我發現了它
在那個炎炎夏午
和我童年時常發現的情形一樣

如今我已中年
回首，只見
童年如那蟬殼……

如果炎炎夏午過去了呢？
如果中年過去了呢？
它是否會仍然完好不變？

The Cicada Shell / Hsu ChiCheng

There was a
Cicada shell lay down
The trunk of a longan

I find it
In a hot summer noon
Just as I found in my childhood

And now I am in the middle age
Turn back to look, I find
My childhood looks like the cicada shell

May it be undamaged
If the hot summer noon is passed？
If the middle age is passed？
