THE ROOM 記忘錄

“The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting”
― Milan Kundera, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting
Two rooms, two persons.
not remembering when it started, and when it ended;
not remembering how they entered, or how they left;
not remembering why they forgot.

The mind has forgotten, but the body remembers.

SHE remembers the bird that flew in the sky, as if it was sent to take her away; while HE who remembers everything, hopes that she would forget...

This, is a dialogue between the survivor (or persecutor?) and the victim;
a poem, and a tribute for the people who fought and are still fighting for democracy.

"人與政權的鬥爭，就是記憶與遺忘的鬥爭。"
—米蘭昆德拉

兩個房間，兩個人。
不記得什麼時候開始、什麼時候結束；
不記得如何進來、如何離開；
也不記得為什麼不記得了。
腦袋忘記了，但身體還記得，
她還記得天上飛過的一隻像是派來帶走她的鳥；
而什麼都還記得的他，希望她全忘掉。

這是一場生還者（或迫害者？）與犧牲者間的對話，為時下遍布各地的民主鬥爭譜寫革命詩歌。
