there are days
when the air
has been bruised
so badly, we cannot
recognize whether or not
we are awake.
on these
days, our
bodies, such naturally
careless limbs, become
overwhelmingly
aware.
and suddenly,
shoulders and knees,
ankles and wrists,
even knuckles, round off
into perfect erasers,
treading slowly
across the surface
of day, removing
a word or two,
a sentence, and loss
that never adds up
.

Hi Yi-Ching. I like the way everything works together in this photograph–and poem: the words on the ‘pink pearl’, the shine on the wood, cloth, knob.
wow–simple yet elegant photo statement
and a pearl that is pink–now that’s an interesting allusion to the world of oysters and pearls underwater–and how pearls form.
