WORLD PREMIERE at DFP (KLCC)
Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra
Conductor: Kevin Field

Poem: Wong Phui Nam


Where the blind fringes of my words
let in the symptoms of a dawn
breaking its anguish

over the hard indifferent pavements,
and loneliness in the bone engenders
this grotesquerie of faces under street lamps,
women who pace their incarceration in empty streets,
I may be ready for the torment which infects
a new beginning: to be my lute’s flame
to charm these manic buildings, the columns
and mindless walls, withholding monsters,
kindling the lost ease of swaying boughs
and swifts under a mild sun, to sue
out of a paranoiac darkness for a forgotten eurydice.
