译自西班牙语
来吧，我的爱，来吧，这寂寞的，充满激情
新斯科舍的夜晚。你的声音颤抖着像翅膀。
你的身骨在低语。月光下，我漫步于
撒满阴影的道路，等待你乌黑的眼眸
和踏着凉鞋的脚步。我的爱，如果必需这样，
我将整晚踱步在这白色阴影
和黑色水域的蓝色小镇上，如果必需这样。

Last month I found out George reviewed my new book Inhaling the Silence for ARC Poetry magazine. I was so glad! Cannot wait to read it! It should be in ARC #73 issue and should be in book stores in Mar, 2014.
