Shan-zi*
Untitled
night turns to day
with you by my side
'til we meet again
for the last time
it used to be
so natural
no flowers anymore
This Shan-zi is constructed of
lines from classic jazz vocals.
*Shan-zi are made up of 7 lines in breaks of 2, 2 and 3. Each
line has a
syllable count thus: 4-5-5-4-4-4- 5 for a total of 31
syllables. The first 2
lines are the image/subject. The next 2 lines are what's
affected by the
image/subject. The last 3 lines are a new image/subject that
complement and provide a meditative conclusion. Shan-zi may be
titled. The
Shan-zi was invented by Andreas Gripp, CA.
Mosaic
the ice turns
black
and abruptly sinks
sails of many hues
dot the inky blue
do troubles fade
or bias die
when light bares a lie
