red stains

photo from here

the dam burst 

fierce water

floods everything 

she has to break away

before gets crushed

red waters...

she already  bleeding

One sip of wine

the broken pieces are now in her bag

one last sip

before she parts

she looks back

there is nothing left

appart a red stain on the white tablecloths

as a reminder

of that day

the dam broke

what now?

was just a blink

or i was sleeping for a long time?

What title I should give

to that occasion?

Staring at your photo, you still look kind

just those burning arrows with your name on them

don't make sense

was just a blink

or i was sleeping for a long time?

"what now?" the neon sign 

blinks and asks

and with blinking eyes

I try to see if there are any other words

between the "what" and "now"

is it "what we do now?"

or "what I do now?"

What title should I give to that occasion?

My heart is not glad

56.4.
The wanderer rests in a shelter.
He obtains his property and an ax.
My heart is not glad.

This describes a wanderer who knows how to limit his desires outwardly,
though he is inwardly strong and aspiring. Therefore he finds at least a place
of shelter in which he can stay. He also succeeds in acquiring property, but
even with this he is not secure. He must be always on guard, ready to defend
himself with arms. Hence he is not at ease. He is persistently conscious of being a stranger in a strange land.
Richard Wilhelm's and Cary F. Baynes translation "I Ching: Or, Book of Changes"

I dare you

if you dare

crack the iced layer

shutting in your heart

if you dare

brake the mirrored window

concealing the view

if you dare

go beyond the practical hardships

like a tough shell

cutting your way

smash it

if you dare

and dive in

to the core

where the essence lays

if I dare to ask, "dare you?"

a pearl is not a promise.

I dare you to ask, dare I?

to crack the ice

to break the mirror

to see what's beneath

ask, dare I?

or

you already know

you are broken
