Afrizal Malna — IPNHK 2025 Guest Poet: Reflections on “Buoy”
阿弗里扎爾·馬爾納|IPNHK 2025 嘉賓談「浮標」
Poetry is a buoy for anyone who respects this earth and life, as we respect our mother. And war is the most cursed culture that has helped shape the dark history of mankind.
Alex Chan — IPNHK 2025 Guest Poet: Reflections on “Buoy”
語凡|IPNHK 2025 嘉賓談「浮標」
A buoy is a guide, even if it is insignificant; a buoy is a small force, even if it is small. Every word can be a buoy, in the ocean into a point, into a dimension, into you and me.
so this is the sound of you
here and now whether or not
anyone hears it this is
where we have come with our age
our knowledge such as it is
and our hopes such as they are
invisible before us
untouched and still possible
To the New Year
——W. S. Merwin
