writing in the heart of a teenager

Flying not flight
Birds , if not exhausted, return not
birds fly in wings, cicada sings
up upon the emptiness, there is sky
up upon the sky
there is You
Flying, not flight
Birds fly inwings,
cicada sings
All these happen,
Because of You

2015 August the seventh

I used to write

when I was a teenager 飛非飛鳥不倦不知還鳥飛蟬鳴空上有天天上有你鳥飛蟬鳴只因有你

in Chinese

in English

I loved to write

because I thought I could

say something

in a moving kind of way

Then I became a painter

I tried to paint

with words

even in Chinese

or Chinese calligpahic lines

but somehow

that kind of moving type of content

does not show

at least like

the kind of writing I used to formulate

as something that

moves you

from the inside

有時候

it took me years to realise why and why
how and how
Cezanne came to do the kind of markmaking that is Cezanne-like
Why and how
I never realised？
Only and only
because I never
really looked at the kind of tree that Cezanne drew
and why such particular kind of pines
needed such particular kind of marks
It was not about a style
but about the heart
that synthesizes the quality
that makes a pine a pine

有時候心裏很是震驚有時候就是那言談中一個字一個話題一個奇想中我震驚了震驚的時候無從可説不敢説很像是說原來是如此啊原來是如此

震驚了以後一㸃點慌一點點涼抹過了那想不到還能流出的淚又再望着天際聽著蟬叫

好像是好好的告訴自己

不要震驚

Bamboo, Leaves, Cloud

竹葉雲蟬襌路崎嶇落了落鳥聲聲慢星星漫悠悠又柔柔點點滴滴
竹裏魂裏竹雲屢屢女女

Bamboo, Leaves and Cloud

Cicada sings

in Zen

a path so uneven

to tread on

as if

it fails to be walked upon

like a bird that does not fly

Slowly

the tune is sung

spreading

the sky with stars

Long and lengthly

yet so softly

bit by bit

little by little

inside the bamboo

within the spirit

in and out

the cloudy bamboo

layers upon layers

A lady is seen

A woman is found

f
Impeccable Combination

wearing the white overall outfit
only to recall
the days when I used to wear my favourite outfit
when I was a teenager

remember?
on the light yellow T shirts
were printed patterns of high heeled shoes
not at all aware of their possible connotations
I was like a little girl
with the heart of snow white:
unable to distinguish
the difference between high heeled shoes
and snow white quality kind of shoes

So a dream is realised
every time when I wore this impeccable combination:
light green outfit with the pale yellow T shirt
on which printed patterns
of high heeled shoes yet purified by a snow white kind of mind

Today though no longer find in my wardrobe that light green and unidentified yellow combination, remains still the hope of retaining
a heart of a young teenager, carefree but without blemish

換上一身白色的工人衭只為記起那一身綠色潔白的另外小時少時的那穿起來更稱心的工人䃿那淺淡黃的長䄂丅恤印着許多根本不為意的高跟鞋那不為意等於童子的心因為童子看不出高跟鞋與白雪鞋的分別就是那般的穿上淡黃高跟鞋丅恤套上淺綠的工人衭一個夢想就如此再生今天沒有了那套久違夢中的白與綠、黃與不知名的顏色但是像是還有那數不出的不為意。八月十日寫於羅馬

my fireplace with Li Po poem Quiet night in Chinese calligraphy
rocks painted with childhood memory lie between Picasso vase and tea pots. A pomelo lantern was remade to recall the prop realised by Director Ng Wui, during the theatre practices over the many weekends in 1972
