Be still and listen, it might be shocking
        you need not move for recognition
        i have been consumed

        Immersed in your flesh        the taste of your skin is lifeless
        the very scent of your coolness consumes me        Say nothing for the time be......

I exist only
        In the magazine
        Folded on myself.

        I am a curve
        Far beyond reach.

        I am Lolita
        In your saliva.

        I am decorated
        Airbrushed
        Naked fantasy.

        I am unattainable,
        Inaccessible
        Unemotio......

I would rather have a ghost        Sing a ghostly song        At least, I will have his company.        Dressed in this cursed spinster's silk,        I look like a carved saint.                 They say I may be better off a nun,        At least I can be the handmaiden of Jesus.......

Ma, it’s dark here        The candies are hanging beyond reach        I can only see the ceiling        The girls are outside laughing        And I only lay down here dreaming                 Ma, it’s dark here        I haven’t seen the sunshine since last spring        My tin soldie......

A half-dead lumpish dragon floating         On the moon water        You are scared of

--To Chi’an        You packed and rushed to Key West        Holding the phone to my chest        Can’t you hear my heart beat like a drum?        Every minute is a journey to the moon        You said you were going to see        The most beautiful sunset        You said you couldn’t......

We drove to see the fireflies        Surprised a night like this        No one but a boatman quietly rowing         Thousands of fireflies        Stars, moon and lightning        All at once   surreal        Fiery sparkles        dropped like rain        As if the angels were welding\......

Years ago        Mom went to the temple        She received a fortune stick saying,        "Your daughter will be in trouble.”        I met a psychic on the corner of the street        She said someone cast a spell on me        She said someone put that voodoo on me        "Yo......

I have been poisoned        By your nectar        The pains I took to hide my joy        Are sheer as crystal        I thought, soon this will pass         Aa… aches!  What a fool I was        The wind kisses, calling your name aloud        The music whispers, begging me to kiss yo......
