SALON

Wednesday, September 24, 2008

Of course, she did not know about it.
She planted a orange kiss on his left cheek, with her pointed nose pushing against his brows.
She squat down for him to do the scarf around her neck.
The scarf wrapped her neck, gently and it felt translucent, the way light silk should feel.
She slipped her long slit fingers underneath and was relieved to find the gold necklace still in place.
Yes, the rough gold necklace, so heavy and tyranic, always soring her neck.
As it gritted her skin, it settled down between her flesh and grew onto her.
There is no blood, nor signs of pain.
It looked perfectly right, and she never let a groan of pain spill out of her body.
She looked at him again, and yearns for a chance to see herself through his eyes.
She must be looking gorgeous in that blue little things planted upon his face, she thought.
Those blue things, she used to think they are made of glass, filled with milk and holds another glass ball within it, which holds a slash of the ocean's meat.
She thinks her grandfather had poured chinese calligraphy ink into her glass balls by accident.
She always thought she is sick and bound to die soon as her skin is stale yellow.
She loves it when he brushes his fair white skin against her, she can almost feel her skin lighter and smoother everytime after it.
There is always millions of thoughts running through her jaded brain which never sleeps, but at this moment, the brain rests peacefully. Blank is her mind.
Her mind is at such unusual ease that she thinks she's going to die out soon.
The wind blows against her.
She only feels the warmth of his hand and the chill of the wind.
The wind caught her scarf.
She tried to hold the scarf but her fingers got caught in her tangled black hair.

Her scarf, melted into the wind, and gave the withered petals a ride to the sea.
