The Eye by Tammy Ho Lai-Ming Lyrics

Genre: misc | Year: 2020

12 August 2019

A crater, a window, an entrance to the soul, a lone well, an empty dish, a lamp to the body—is collectively mourned; heartbreaking and haunting. A young woman lost an eye in her beloved city, the result of certain people already having turned half blind. One eye open, one eye closed: only surveilling, seeing selective sights, scenes and sins. Hong Kong was once lost, and then found, and lost, and will be found again; a cycle of blood, sweat, and tears.
