Poetry Reading, 2022

遊園會——輕鬆詩會

​

​

我們去一個陌生的地方／她説那兒是最快樂的地方／趁著門還未關上／大樹悄悄地生長／河岸上佈滿黃與綠的燈光／我們走到最高處／過去都不重要了／不是嗎／她念詩／用令人懷念的聲音／閉目時／一切靜止／那是光給的信息／我們到最快樂的地方／會一去不回來嗎

「跑到郊外走回室內，遊花園，自由企著坐下，文字圍繞你的頭團團轉。」

鯉魚門招牌集合（三家村舊礦場）

​​

Each session will include about twenty poems, forty in total across the two sessions. The poems will differ depending on the venue.
The twenty poems are chosen by feeling from poems I have read before—poets I like, styles I like, and themes I’m drawn to. These poems have saved me countless times when I needed them most, or lit a small lamp when I felt lost. Some made me smile, and some refreshed my mind. They have entered into us and are not easy to forget.
The other twenty are poems we have written ourselves. I want to read those words carefully, one by one, and let them move through the air and into the ears of the audience.
I remember the title of a photography interview book: 「過去是新鮮的，未來是令人懷念的。」 I think some things do not fade with time. They remain ever new, and every encounter brings a different feeling. It is like a traveler setting out on a sea voyage, seeing the warm sun slowly rise over the distant horizon each morning, while quietly looking forward to the unknown.
