許其正：天葬

哇，好個天葬！

人從自然來

人到世間裡

自然和人類給予無數澤惠

怎能要來就來要走就走？

回報乃是必然

回報吧！

畢竟人空手而來

自必空手而去

在此期間，要

獻出所有的力量

獻出所有的心血

當要離開世間，回到自然

不需任何繁文縟節

天葬是最後一次

最好最簡便的回報

啊，「任你撕去身心吸去血」！（註）

哇，好個天葬！

註：此句引自拙作「甘蔗的話」。

Celestial Burial　　Hsu ChiCheng

O, what a celestial burial

From nature

Man comes to this world

Nature always favors us a lot

How could we arrive and then leave this world like that

We should repay nature for its favors

Repay!

We come to this world with nothing

And we leave this world with nothing also

During our lifetime in this world, we should

Devote all our strength

Do our level best

When leaving this world and returning to nature

Without any red tapes

Celestial burial is the last

Best and simplest repayment to nature

O, “allowing you to tear my heart and suck my blood”*

O, what a celestial burial!

*quoted from one of my poem s “Cane’s Words “
