kirigami

 

This life dictates

We stumble past kings

To consume the flesh of visions

We let our blood

For a glimpse of jade

 

Eternal ferment

 

Teeth chatter from the walls

Viscera pour from the ceiling

 

Outside spring bursts forth

Parturient symphonies

 

I wake up an angel

I wake up a demon

 

Kirigami arms

 

Blistered smile

 

The factory beckons.

i am un chien andalusia

thanks guys.

david - not far off at all. pursuit of wealth, worshipping of false idols, destruction of nature, the self harm of fitting in, the escapism. all themes ive tried to touch on after watching the lego movie, which is about all that. im not joking either, its actually a really clever story.

cynthia - i am glad you find it thought provoking, thats what i hoped. asian history is indeed fascinating. i used to love origami and kirigami, very relaxing.

Very interesting ideas, thought-provoking, with some superb imagery expressing history in a nutshell. Impressive.

I am so 'enjoying' a book on Asian History, with the book in my right hand and an atlas in my left, with a magnifying glass to scan the finest print as I follow the geographical accounts. A real eye-opener, this book, and I fully realize, the merest minimal investigation of past and present.
