a Chinese character,

a Chinese character.

as I stares at it.

as I gaze at it

It opens itself,

it opens itself 

till I notices 

till I become aware of 

its most secret parts.

its most secret parts.

a Chinese character 

a Chinese character

opens itself

opens itself 

and closes itself.

and closes itself.

the blank between them,

the interval 

takes my life away.

exhausts my entire life.
