每年到母难日 
                          总握着电话筒 
                          很想拨一个电话 
                          给久别的母亲 
                          只为了再听一次 
                          一次也好 
                          催眠的磁性母音 

                          但是她住的地方 
                          不知是什么号码 
                          何况她已经睡了 
                          不能接我的电话 
                       「这里是长途台 
                          究竟你要 
                          接哪一个国家？」 

                          我该怎么回答呢？ 
                          天国，是什么字头？ 
                          地府，有多少区号？ 
                          那不耐的接线生 
                          卡挞把线路切断 
                          留给我手里一截 
                          算是电线呢还是若断若连的脐带 
                          就算真的接通了 
                          又能够说些什么 
                       「这世界从你走后 
                          变得已不能指认 
                          唯一不变的只有 
                          对你永久的感恩
