SINCE YOU WENT AWAY – SHU CH’I-SIANG
Since You Went Away
After you were gone
The moon came and shone
In the vacant window
I thought of you as a flower
Carried off by the wind
That went its way
And can never turn back
Shu Ch’i-Saing
The aching, erotic stillness of these ancient Chinese poems completely overpowers me, as they find their way into The Vampire’s Wife designs. Truly inspiring, as I draw away and dream. Love, Susie x
