己醜年？

beauty and the beast

空谷呼喊

Quotes:

Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart
and try to love the questions themselves like
locked rooms and like books that are written in
a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers,
which cannot be given you because you would not be able
to live them. And the point is, to live everything.
Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday
far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.

......

Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky.

......

At bottom no one in life can help anyone else in life;
this one experiences over and over in every conflict and every perplexity: that one is alone.

— Rainer Maria Rilke

（里爾克從來不是救贖。
更似隔了山，空谷呼喊。
可既然落入眼前，許亦，事有其因。）

光，解構光

編號４８９９
鯨鯨

這是湖。編號４８９９
每天早上同一位置
按下同一快門
原來按了４８９９次
１３年零１５４天

這是湖。死去４８９８天
復活一天就足夠了
４８９８張空椅子
因一個朦朧的背影
有了蠢蠢的生命

是你嗎？編號４８９９
炭在火中燃燒的飲泣
逆光如剃刀邊沿的定格
請閉上眼睛用心聆聽
鳥蛋和蟲卵的呼吸

是你嗎？４８９９個
斷了氣的記憶
湖之於冰封愛之於喘息
夢想之於日常生活
感冒之於鼻囊的涕液
如果是你你還愛嗎？
這是今天的湖
淹沒昨日之島
（魚在在藻，依于其蒲？）
編號４８９９的每日用糧

信收到嗎？編號４８９９
翠鳥依偎柳條的前額
喙去湖水見證的諾言
猶之乎蔚藍的煙
總是一回消失一回浮現

你還是你嗎如果是你？
這是今天的雲水
浸洗昨日的赤足
（藻在在魚，依于望舒？）
編號４８９９的最後幻象

這是湖。編號４８９９
每天早上用光解構光
以欲望解構欲望
沉船打撈了還有沉船
湖的對岸還有對岸

人與人，再親密的關係，會不會還有一處不完全了解的角落？
是不是需要都了解？
是不是可以容許，保留一處不必開發的地帶？

(scribbles / 2001)

then the point comes

Metaphor
Franz Wright

Then the point comes
when language decides
to start strangling itself
on its leash, make a break for it
or to turn on you --
no longer the mournful
appearing, intelligent
and silent being who guided you
in a dark world.

I & E

晚上趕去吃飯，坐地鐵。
其實沒有坐，一路站。人多的時候鼻子幾乎貼近門玻璃，沿路看水泥牆、喉管、黑黑黑、廣告燈箱。周圍空間鬆動了，竟然有點留戀眼前風景，臉不打算移離玻璃框，繼續看水泥牆、燈箱廣告、喉管、黑黑黑……

這是一路上想到的——
IQ 題：
兩個人之間最短的距離是—
eye to eye / heart to heart / toe to toe / back to back / all of the above
EQ 題：
兩個人之間最近的距離是—
never crossed / no distance / heart to brain / words to mouth / none of the above

（點解中文問題英文答？
well，聽古就米駁古，依家唔係是非題，又冇事必要你答。）
