Invitation
Bee Jay, Australia
Sherry Grant, New Zealand
too shy
to show my face
drifting leaf
full makeup on
turning the car around
road rage
swear words cut across
my apology
hard brake
the steady stare
of a startled deer
99 missed calls
birds chatter in trees
returning
the wedding dress
no refund
邀請

害羞得
不敢露面
飄落之葉
在濃妝豔抹後
卻決定把車子調頭
路上怒火中燒
的司機謾罵
我連聲道歉
緊急煞車
受到驚嚇的野鹿
雙眼瞪直
99條未接來電
樹上群鳥嘰嘰喳喳
歸還那件
結婚禮服
可惜不能退款

the school
partly hidden by mist
first day
still hanging on…
laughter at the park
lunch monitor
the pebble pushed
into an enemy’s pie
dancing
around the edge
friendship ring
hiding from bullies
behind the prickly pear
graduation
he plucks a wild rose
for her corsage
狂野

上學第一天
部分校園被
濃霧籠罩
公園的笑聲
猶在耳際
午餐糾察隊
我在敵手吃的派裡
偷偷放了一顆石子
圍在邊上
跳舞
朋友圈（友誼戒指）
為了躲避惡霸
我藏在仙人掌後面
畢業典禮
他親自為她摘了朵
野玫瑰插在胸前
