Photography by Jennifer Matthews

 

凌空

                   The tomb is empty.

Upturned eyes          Laugh lines cut too deep
A mouth wide open      red and white and pink

On the earth this image                  is madness
and shakes all that it meets

But in heaven                         A look so natural
Tame in the face of unknown ecstasies
      the humming flesh made perfect.
