Yuddy and Lizhen (阿飛與麗珍)

Your first brush with fame

Was coming second

In a contest you should have emerged

The clear winner

“American Pie” asked

“Can music save your mortal soul?”

You answered by singing and dancing

Like you would always be 20

We can be heroes just for one day

2:59 pm forever stolen by

Yuddy and Lizhen

Only those two can

Sink their pearly whites into

That sliver of time

The Leslie Cheung trilogy (Leslie Cheung, Red Butterfly and Yuddy and Lizhen) is dedicated to the memory of Leslie Cheung. Each poem comprises 14 lines, one for each year we have lost him. The trilogy is also for Diane.
