Oil rainbow flashes

Rate this Entry
Over the water
under a wintering sunbeat
flashes of metal
shine in the pulses of an oilslick heart,
a mask of rainbow
dapples,
perhaps it was pretty.

    Being fascinated by gasoline rainbows, I loved this very much.

    Impressed by the beautiful senery, here I could only imagine it.

    Actually, this was partly based upon the time I saw wonderful colours on the water on the way to Chongming Island by Shanghai. I was amazed and it took me a short while to register that the beautiful colours I was seeing on the water was actually an oilslick, shining in the afternoon sun!
