VISION, UNVEILED
~
after “Bride on the Rock” from
Chinese
Impressions by Susan Dobay
“Why are you leaving us?”
Chinese characters dissipate in the air
Clouds descend
Down the waterfall of jade
Clouds float down
The slopes of aquamarine
“Where are you going?
Why are you doing this?”
Centuries of crystal
Petrified traditions stand silent
Watching over
The white tulle of a Cinderella dress
The dark-haired bride
Is anxious without her talisman
Lost without the red hue
Of prosperity, crimson joy she hides
The sign of double happiness
Marked in blood-red ink
Under the pristine silk
Of her bridal gown
They cannot see – she listens
To the whisper of the crevices
Her veil flutters
On the breeze
