Hong Kong and the Echo

What do we know but that we face

One another in this place?

– W.B. Yeats, ‘Man and the Echo’

HK. I loved my mountains, rivers and trees

long before towers and families, but if the only way

the sea can speak to the hills is through the moon

I will speak to you from the ink-dark

about the changing tides, the slow equivocal pain

of transition, how things are moving away

from the norm, the deceptive comfort

of a norm, the fading neon noises

on Mong Kok streets, the kind of blue and yellow

you’ll only find in my heart, the Lion Rock spirit

and the endangered species named after me:

the grouper, cascade frog, incense tree.
