Fragments Your voice leaves a bookmark on the hardcover
you're holding. Your shadow is expecting
the end of a season. This is merely guesswork. I imagine
your response to a speechless poster
on a wall, a woman walking a dog,
a loud squeak of a broken doorknob... But I saw you that evening, one hand
(which one?)
in a pocket. You were talking to a
writer, or maybe two. I pretended
not knowing you. You were pretending too.
We lost a chance to eye-kiss. Now you are still reading, and the sun
shines on you. And I go on guessing
more and more about you. ~ words: Tammy Ho Lai-Ming, Hongkong (sighming)
