Red Butterfly, my new poem dedicated to Leslie Cheung, is now on HKBU English: Agora. The poem comprises 14 lines, 1 for each year we have lost him -
Son of the tailor to old Hollywood heartthrobs
Every performance of yours was
The most precisely made suit
Like the rouge lipstick Fleur meticulously put on
Starched collars protected your suggestive voice
All buttons fastened like your best-kept secrets
The bow tie was your red butterfly
Unashamed of her beauty
She gently landed on our hearts
Every April Fools’ Day
Our hearts open like
The fan of Cheng Dieyi
All flowers on it
In full bloom
