..............................................................BACK COVER By QUO Ying Sheng 郭英聲
The waterfall is the river’s
Terrorist organization
As the typhoon is the sea’s
Just as earthquakes and dinosaur fossils
Are the interior crust of the earth’s
A tiny tumor is the body’s
Terrorist organization
As invisible AIDS is that of lust
Just as Death, like a wave of your hand
Is the one that all of a sudden freezes time
Every approaching minute
Every letter that finds its way here
Turning around
Every expression is perhaps
An explosive terrorist organization
Like salt sinking back into the sea
And words fleeing back to the dictionary
I’d madly search amid the ashes
For the black box
Of our “mutual demise”
How can the nightmare be apprehended?
It falls repeatedly like a cliff toward me
My terror
Is indeed my
Organization
