許其正：玩沙者

你看，那個人

在海邊沙灘上

玩著細沙

他用雙手捧起細沙

讓細沙從指縫間漏下

然後，又捧起細沙……

他一次一次重複著……

後來，奇蹟出現了：

從手開始，以至全身

他先是起了皺紋

然後長出老人斑

終至腐朽崩壞

散落沙灘上

碎成細沙……

One Who Plays with Fine Sand　Hsu ChiCheng

Look! That person

Who playing with the fine sand

On the sandy beach

He scoops up a handful of fine sand

Then let the sand drops from his fingers chinks

Then he scoops up another handful of sand

He does so again and again…

Soon after, wonders appear:

From his hands to his whole body

Firstly wrinkles appear

Then the old age speckles

Then he decomposes

And turns into fine sand

on the sandy beach…
