Shogun moon why splatter blood running away from your body
a sword is a sickle menacing glean
water sold in a petrol station five bucks a bottle
half the price from the petrol you're pumping.....
never gonna fill ya
but when it's spurting out of your neck
think roses how they die off
in winter
the bonsai master, snip snip snips you away and as a butterfly battles out of it's own coffin
you'll come back
but did the world come with you
or are you skating alone blood streaking your name across ice Wilted Flowers Crimson blood seeps through the crevices of a broken home as the flowers living within begin to wilt losing their petals in an outward cry for help from a venomous poison that corrupted the dehydrated soils. An evening walk Where can I walk, where can I look, to find again the snows so pure, then bury I can these poems i wrote and clear the ground once more, for new poems to come to be.
For as I walked, along the seashore today, a rose I found lying, dying on the side walk, I loved its petals dappled with flakes of snow, and I held it close to my heart, and I knew without a doubt, by the light of the reddened moon and gently held in the arms of the dawn, it will transform into a poem of beauty, and that will happen all in the "blink of an eye". all in the "blink of an eye" and it will last for eons.
画: 立
用立兄的这一副画来作为诗歌的灵感来源。这一幅画充满了具有喻意的元素，诗意无缝而又超现实地结合在一起。一幅画就是一个人内心世界的风景，浓缩着个人对生命的思考与感受。画中，遥远的海岸线，无所依托的帽子，也是有着一扇门的屋子，自它的窗口（又如同眼睛）伸出一支在凋零与另一支将绽放的玫瑰，在这没有开始与结束的空间里，猩红流溢的色彩与暗色相互照应，有着抑郁与悲壮的美。生命死亡伤口挣扎绽放，永恒的主题。我想起了王尔德的长诗，雷丁监狱的歌谣。
十位来自不同国籍的诗人对这幅画从不同的角度写的诗歌，非常有意思。
选了三首来分享。

and gently held in the arms of the dawn,
it will transform
into a poem

and that will happen
all in the "blink of an eye".
all in the "blink of an eye"
and it will last for eons.
