    114 - Still adjusting to my acoustic environment. A set of five interconnected poems where the speaker interacts with a friend who lives somewhere between the real and the imagined. Background noise courtesy of the cleaning lady. // because he has taken another he too personally, privately - the myth of love bisects these he's, who wet their love for myths with well-meant selves // -Nicholas Wong // 當他們感覺到夜晚，便總是懷疑自己無甚光芒。其實他們都很美，本來不需要那樣特意堅忍，特意成熟 // -曹疏影 Listen on ⁠⁠Mixcloud⁠⁠ to catch the hidden tracks and featured poems Playlist is on my website ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.atomicheart.fm⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Atomic Heart airs weekly on CFMS 105.9 FM Curated and presented by Atom Alicia

    113 - Settling in back home. Revising stuff written during the trip.

    112 - Back to my Causeway Bay studio on the island side of Hong Kong for the first time in six months.

Here I share some of my early drafts plus a bit of poetry discovered on the journey.

  5. He walks as fine as any child once he’s on the ground

    110 - My last recording at Mei Ho House till who knows when. I bring you the 100th and final piece from my hundred consecutive days of prose poetry writing. I also read 'If you happen to be swimming in the same ocean', which appears in my full-length manuscript Forty-One Frames. The poem muses on the architectural rhythm of MHH juxtaposed with a tune I used to love and still love. And it's only fitting that the sentiment is capped by a reading of Cavafy's 'Ithaka'. All this, before I depart for a month-long writing retreat in Fukuoka, Japan. The show will resume after I return to Hong Kong in April. This edition is only available as a podcast.

    108 - On a day after I found clarity on the ceiling, I give you an account of a stranger's memories, how distant rooftops are composed, and shoelaces that tighten just enough without impeding the wanderlust.

Despite exhaustion we continue to show up even late at night.
