The Mask And The Meniscus
The Mask and the Meniscus
By Xiaoyuan Yin
O flourishing container of vicissitudes, nonwettable
By years leaking away. When you dived underneath,
A train of glimmering fluffy bubbles rose
Beneath your wings. Silvery, jasmine-white
When you fortuitously surfaced.
Though the narrow corridor, torrential fate took lead.
The meniscus, a concave one,
Weighed upon by breezes and rays of light,
While Amyris balsamifera, convex, a critical moment
Before Cambrian Explosion took place.
‘Surface tension is the will to withstand time and tide.'
When its value greater than self-healing ability (The Resilience) within,
Our faces become masks.
‘Surface tension is the will to withstand time and tide.' When its value greater than self-healing ability (The Resilience) within, Our faces become masks... this last stanza is very much revealing...... very nice poem dear poet.... thank you. tony
