Crossing

Khe Iem

CROSSING

bite off a piece of sorrow to make snakes and dragons

flirt

to coax
each other across

the splendid river distinguished by the afternoon’s southeasterly winds

so short, so much to read.
the first line seems to be how we create anger, and aggression from our own sorrow.
it`s wonderful to read, and i get a beautiful scene in my head when i do read it.
the last line is my favorite, that`s where the image is strongest in my mind.
it`s like a wonderful dream.

Thank you so much for reading. Khe Iem
