Day 3: National Poetry Writing Month #NaPoWriMo
Always
that fine line
between
what slots
together and what
slips in between,
those black spots
of doubt that cannot
be fully folded out
like linen that lingered
too long
before being laid,
like chopsticks
that fight for form
between fingers foreign,
like this morning,
in the park,
the birds you breaded
and tonight,
on your plate,
the duck, now shredded.

Last week I was in Shanghai for work and met jet lag straight on, here are some of the pictures from that week, including 6am walks through the city while it was waking and I was searching for sleep…
The mountains of the clouds
The customary gas mask in your room for emergencies, wrapped in a velvet pouch
Jing’an Temple
Waiting to something to clean
The new climbing over the old
Morning rituals
Nanjing Road
Dali time
Start of the morning commute
new mode of transport
Japanese dining
Concept store Corso Como
Passion Fruit Cocktail in the Coconut Paradise Restaurant
new buildings and old ways
The People’s Square
Red Queue and phone box
Market streets
Smoke and Flowers in the floor
Funky food plates and twisting cutlery
Da Dong restaurant and our own Duck being sliced
The Dragon’s Breath stealing the view on the Bund
The year of the rain
Old Town umbrellas
City God Temple of Shanghai
And ending with a little consideration for the bottom…
