realization, a stagnant pool of reflections,
images on fun house mirrors –
surrealistic paintings
upon the walls of times passing,
it’s life diminishing, slowly, upon wings
of a sorrowful,...

XIAO LING
CHINA LIGHT 

Xiao Ling, did bring light into the shadows
of my days, days living in the shallows

of terminally opinionated snake charmers
for art's sake of course
well what else could define our course of action
when the end of unknowing
