Imortals Celebrating a Birthday (detail) by Chen Hongshow
Recording the life in the day, this image captures the warmth of memory, tradition, and local customs with a depth of colour and detail that allows one to contemplate another time within our universe
I see the clash of sea
Shining rock of dead black
Broken bark cracking the weeping shorelines
a crumbled gun-turret above the beautiful belly of Torcross;
faint circles of white trailed blue
whirlpools fading into depth.
I see a ghostly old sea village
Souls of fishing women - Field of daisy picker,
I journeyed the battered coastline,
Sip from cloudy glass of apple
Seagulls feed on chip pebbles while the smoke of hand rolled
tobacco
Inhaled the brutal silence;
Leaves float like sequins that hang
Circling a sky humbled by vicious twists,
A crooked aerial like a falling angel
Bludgeoned
on the surface of mapped ether.
