图书序言
〔五月二十四日〕
五月二十四日
那一天
一张X光片
一通长途电话
晨曦 网住
癌症散落的身影
窗外黄脉刺桐
层层叠叠的绿叶子
包裹着诗颖的癌细胞
诗颖 我的心肝宝贝
肺部的癌细胞 阿爹搆不着
好像远在英国留学的你
青春刚刚冒出的花苞
死神却把萤火虫似的癌细胞
放入肺部里繁殖
这个玩笑
甜蜜的家庭 921大地震
找不到逃生的出口
心情不知要如何 放慢
岁月的脚步 找寻
生命细微的光 缓慢
附记:诗颖咳嗽咳个不停,可能得肺结核,2012年5月24日,到台北市卫生局检查,医生判断是肺癌。

〔May 24th〕
May 24th
That day
A piece of x-ray film
A long distance phone call
At dawn’s first light, captured in a net
Cancer’s scattered silhouette
The variegated coral tree outside the window
Layers and layers of green leaves
Enfolded Sherrie’s cancer cells
Sherrie, my precious darling
The cancer cells in your lungs, Dad couldn’t reach them
Like when you were faraway studying abroad in England
The newly sprouted flower buds of youth
Yet Death inserted the firefly-like cancer cells
Into the lungs to multiply
This joke
A sweet family, the 921 earthquake
Cannot find an exit to escape
I don’t know how to, slow down, my mood
The footsteps of the years, seek
The fine light of life is, slow
Note: Sherrie had been coughing non-stop, perhaps she had tuberculosis. Examined at the Taipei City Department of Health on May 24th 2012, doctors diagnosed her with lung cancer.
