Pigeons and Paradox<br />
statues in parks<br />
wait on pigeons<br />
like attendants<br />
in washrooms<br />
smooth jackets<br />
hands out<br />
big granites<br />
floating in the park<br />
whereas the pigeons<br />
are the only<br />
solid<br />

The following poem, Hong Kong: Songs from the<br />
Rooftops, is an 8-part poem that was written over the<br />
course of the last 5 years. Each part corresponds to<br />
a part of Hong Kong and each part also is dedicated<br />
to a friend. It was completed this past spring. This<br />
poem is dedicated to 8 friends, for whom the city<br />
is a constant conversation in my head and heart,<br />
regardless of the shape and tune.<br />
This poem is dedicated to: Holly & Ka-sing Lee,<br />
Nancy Li, Kai Chan, Yam Lau, Chris Song and Ting,<br />
TimTim Cheng, Tammy Ho and Kristee Quinn.<br />
May they always be filled with voices, food and<br />
sound. Carry on.
Hong Kong: Songs from the Rooftops<br />
“In these shaken times, who more than you holds<br />
In the wind, our bittermelon, steadily facing<br />
Worlds of confused bees and butterflies and a garden gone wild”<br />
-- 梁 秉 鈞 , Bittermelon<br />
VII Sai Kung: 西 貢 區<br />
life splinters forward<br />
et<br />
we could not have our own--<br />
memories already<br />
sorted and peeled away—<br />
the thread that holds the bamboo and palm light together.<br />
He is that line that encircles shadow and rickshaw and holds you in place,<br />
the line that brings the palimpsest of the child’s voice temperamental in the<br />
corner of the neighbor’s life<br />
and the long absences excavated<br />
a grandmother’s sewing box falling off a broken balcony, splintered on the street<br />
backalley cat accordianing itself through brick and mortal, balance beam life<br />
your scribbled not a tram, sitting next to you a piece of paper fallen out of a<br />
pocket<br />
鬼 揞 眼<br />
exoskeleton of a diary, a lost conductor, the paramour’s tears and parade,<br />
dragon stone and dream--<br />
as the walking guard demands written meaning<br />
tabled upon jade jawlines<br />
inked on family tensils and bones,<br />
there is so much more.<br />
Not so?<br />
Still, waiting<br />
you shall write that upon the scars of the river shelving the hillline<br />
apples fallen upon the shy, persimmon and dragon fruit<br />
underneath hooves<br />
all that going and coming and tea once combined with pine needle and wool.<br />
Thus: us, here.<br />
I am you are<br />
thinking of journeys, windward fire-burned settlings,<br />
we leeward and hungry<br />
ghost seed and flax sung set to flame<br />
the crackle of ancestor,<br />
a broken tooth, dimpled dappled stone and earth wing--<br />
Hualien’s Eastern streets licked clean<br />
the street vendor coastal chalked and quick<br />
Taiwan taking toll through a forlorn train station: Duoliang 多 良<br />
piggybacking one family lilting home,<br />
one family disembarked, this stop and step and de-railing,<br />
all its waving,<br />
undulating wayward aspiration, memories per which<br />
you climbed Eastward bound.<br />
There their hearts grow wild from seed and surf and suffrage light<br />
some thirsty self voracious in its fingering<br />
the child tipping print upon soot and scenic swipes: ghosts<br />
must be fed and so shall they--<br />
must we?<br />
Remaining with the impossible makes the ideapossible<br />
The lacuna steeped inside<br />
beside a solitary Lotus on a Sunday morning in August<br />
and the years break like breath against the corners of our skin, wing’d and welp’d: 万 里 .<br />
Once she held up the clouds while graffiti sled down the side of a wall<br />
her tongue lapping up sky water and wind and there was something,<br />
you new,<br />
as she turned in the slanterned light, slacken<br />
a thread that holds the bamboo and palm light together:<br />
the bamboo thread that holds it all together<br />
or was it only ever you.

bq 不 清<br />
給 不 懂 這 首 歌 的 意 思 的 你<br />
FOR YOU WHO HAS NO CLUE WHAT THIS SONG MEANS<br />
有 沒 有 想 過 為 什 麼 雀 鳥 不 會<br />
因 為 出 於 惡 意 而 失 聲 走 調 ?<br />
清 晨 這 裡 , 檜 柏 樹 的<br />
影 子 伸 展 得 又 長 又 低 就 像<br />
Ever wondered why birds don’t<br />
Chirp out of tune, out of spite?<br />
Out here in the morning, junipers’<br />
Shadows stretch long and low like<br />
在 曠 野 上 隱 身 的 陸 軍 爬 行 , 而<br />
只 要 太 陽 仍 然 能 像 增 添 了<br />
顛 音 的 左 手 順 暢 地 連 奏 以 及<br />
拱 於 天 空 , 永 遠 維 持<br />
Stealth army crawls in the open, and<br />
It is impossible for them to forever stay<br />
In those shapes so long as the sun still<br />
Arches across the sky like a smooth<br />
那 個 形 狀 是 不 可 能 的 ——<br />
悅 耳 的 聲 音 , 不 是 嗎 ? 但 偶 爾<br />
事 情 很 快 會 陷 入 困 境<br />
在 一 個 空 曠 的 十 字 路 口 , 停 止 標 誌 持 續<br />
Left-hand legato, enriched with vibratos—<br />
It’s music to our ears, isn’t it… but once in a while<br />
Things can get bogged down real quick.<br />
At an empty intersection, stop signs keep on<br />
告 訴 對 方 停 止 前 行<br />
彷 彿 他 們 無 法 對 事 情 有 一 致 的<br />
看 法 。 引 線 穿 針 能 令 人 感 到 挫 敗<br />
我 是 明 白 的 , 但 同 時<br />
Telling each other to stop moving<br />
Forward as though they can’t see eye to eye on<br />
every Issues. Threading needles is frustrating,<br />
I am sure, but at the same time, what<br />
你 的 鬥 雞 眼 是 如 此 的 滑 稽 啊<br />
這 些 能 在 這 裡 播 放 的 歌 曲<br />
一 定 令 你 感 到 奇 怪 。 一 群 蜜 蜂<br />
被 自 己 香 甜 的 蜜 糖 粘 著 了 。<br />
Comic relief your crossed eyes can be.<br />
It must be weird for you to hear different<br />
Songs being played here. A swarm of bees<br />
Stuck in their own sweet honey.

Canada (August, <strong>2022</strong>) – We arrived to the<br />
sounds of rhythmic vibrations; eagerly we<br />
explored the vitalized movements circulating<br />
around several groups of drummers.<br />
In observance, in admiration, deep in<br />
wonderment we spent the day taking in the<br />
happenings at the Three Fire annual powwow.
