《A day in September》 Amy Siu

 Today I clad gladly in black
 to tread on murky grounds

 A film-thin raincoat, a clear-cling hood
 topped gravely with my boyish swim goggles
 and an 'envelope' mask, a relic from the deadly past

 I try to hold back streaming tears
 and cap my billowy blood

 But my legs fail me.

 Sitting down I feel faint    
 fending off foamy pepper spray and stinging smoke
 a little sad and surprised
 that it's not a solitary soul that they seek

 Damn! I don't even have a folding umbrella!

 

《遙遠的青春》  蕭若碧

古老的電車使人眷念

繫於往昔可靠的偶然

那天車廂驟遇

驚喜淹沒了靦腆

絮語汨汨流著甜蜜

翌日看望牆上掛鐘

數著每刻每分

快步走到大街

坐在電車上層頭排

忐忑一站一站過去

是貝多芬第三交響曲的前奏

果然迎來你逐級而上的面孔

搜索的目光

眼神甫接

如觸電流

瀉滿了心坎

良久才低問

今天也搭電車啊
