A soft chain creak comes far away.
"I am right here," says the grandmother.

繁體中文 翻訳
外婆坐在旁邊的長椅上。
那個圓圓的視野裡有什麼？
Colette 在木邊緣前跪下。
她的膝蓋靠在一件折好的外套上。
木頭表面溫暖又光滑。
她前傾，從水桶的開口看過去。
視野是一個乾淨的圓。
一圈淡淡的濕痕在沙上。
一個小小的記憶圈就待在那裡。
一片樹葉慢慢往下飄。
它落下。
一個較早做的沙柱邊緣已經鬆碎。
遠處傳來輕輕的盪鞦韆鍊條聲。
「我就在這裡。」外婆說。
一片樹葉落在水桶邊。
它擋住一半。
Colette 抬起頭，向左走幾步。
她停在木邊的縫隙旁。
她從小小的縫裡看出去。
一綹頭髮貼在她臉頰上。
一隻麻雀站在木頭上。
牠的尾端沿著上緣指向前方。
長椅上放著保溫瓶。
一顆透明小水珠貼在瓶身上。
