鄭澤榆第一本詩集。分作六輯，分別是輯一〈溫柔的咒〉、輯二〈城市的影〉、輯三〈化身〉、輯四〈裝神弄鬼〉、輯五〈深縮與痕〉、輯六〈回家〉。詩人寫下了出版詩集的感想：「於是那隻龜可以出發了，馱著我的過去現在未來，隨著意識流，延伸出各種模樣。從自身的博物館，開啟最初的情詩，再到出社會後，城市與成年帶來的光影與浮沉。當看過太多鋼骨水泥，就想化身動物，回歸並奔走於雨林。借用完動物，又想前往更高的超自然層級，繼續以鬼神傳說來思考真相。後驚覺萬物有靈，自身只是龐大宇宙裡的微小靈媒，再次深深縮進內裡，與自己對話，消化陰影。最後回到家鄉，追溯起源，歸零自己。領悟了所有老舊的事物亦能生長出新意，我似乎也完成了一趟歸心的旅程，能夠再次勇敢，再去感受生活的流性，也祈願寫作生涯能如龜般長壽堅強。」
