After Dark

Here's a new piece for my degree project.  Before writing this, I used a series of randomly generated "prompts" from the I Ching, or The Book of Changes, the ancient Chinese book of Oracular Pronouncements.  For this, I generated #63, "After Completion," and #13, "Fellowship With Men."

-After Dark-

Silver country.  Silver trees.  Silver earth.  

Our world is made metal by the light of a wrinkled face.

For many hours, our gravitas awaits; 

she is overhead,

licking her lunar lips; but there, she said,

this salt - it has no taste; for it is a potion,

a mineral to be absorbed

among your people
