Inspired by a Chinese poem.

〈留聲機〉  余榮基 -致《橫渡》的〈烏托邦〉

是誰把誰的証書卷成一束
燃點
吸入呼出
呼出的菸香
是一條河
詩人就乘着浮萍
不知飄流到哪裏去

河旁的摩天大樓
緩緩垂下
垂下的重量
輕得可以割破
潢渡中的小船

聲音隆隆播出
是〈烏托邦〉的音樂
像提醒我們
我們那存在的身體
不要習慣
鎖的重量
不要忘記
鎖的日常

盡洄沿
灰燼散
鴉逝
天仍晚


對了

演出則剛重新播放

“Gramophone” RiK Wing Kei YU –to “Utopian”

Roll up an anonymous certificate
ignite it up with a flame
breath in incense
breath out the smoke
it becomes a rivers
for the wandering poet
on Lemna

Skyscrapers at the river side
drooping weight in andante
too light too pale as it is
could have broken that
tiny rowing boat

Rumbling the sound of music
from “Utopia”
reminding us
our existing body
never take for granted
the baring weight of chains
never shall forget
the daily being of chains

Whirl a drought river
Burnt out the ashes
crow departed
yet the evening remains

Oh
by the way

the performance has just replayed
