Sunrise, | Dancing in the Dark
https://shanghaimornings.wordpress.com/2015/10/26/sunrise
Dancing in the Dark. In part, how I feel about you. Is a gradual slowing, a low melting, a pooling and a warming. A pitched focus on the infinitesimal details of you,. Cleft of your chin, split of your tongue, rift between your teeth – a trinity of dichotomies,. Then a premonition of significance about these noted details, this one three of twos. What I am saying is that you. Give me a sensation that precedes realization,. Like the left side of an epiphany,. On the brink of, at last, sufficiency.

Dancing in the Dark. Diary of Tarantula Lau – February 8th. Yesterday, Shanghai was covered in a thick mist. Not pollution for once, but rain – hesitating to fall. The tops of buildings were suddenly truncated by the fog. Towers rose from the clouds like ghosts. It stopped raining eventually, as it always does, and the mountains browned back down. But I stayed green. Something took root in me that summer. A longing. A longing to sit atop a stack of recycled boxes, bottles, and newspapers&...I could have ...

Another One | Dancing in the Dark
https://shanghaimornings.wordpress.com/2015/09/21/another-one
Dancing in the Dark. I know I have remembered much of this year, but when I try to savor specific memories, I think about things that are merely tangential, like catching glimpses of myself out the corner of my eyes. I can never decide if I am beautiful or ugly, pretentious or original, depressed or happy. I can hardly recall a time when I did not reside in this O-shaped zone of ambiguity. It covers me like a fuzzy shadow. I do not have a passport out, and I would not want to move further in. Currently I...

Diary of Tarantula Lau – March 5th | Dancing in the Dark

Dancing in the Dark. Diary of Tarantula Lau – March 5th. The woman opened her mouth, and I hoped for a mad moment that she’d say my name despite her incorrect countenance, but she only dismissed me and brushed past. I turned on the faucet and let it fill up the sink for few minutes before soaking my still-frozen hands in near-scalding water. The tingle that went through me was sister to what I felt when I heard that girl sing Silent Night. Laquo; Diary of Tarantula Lau – February 8th. Poet in a Hat.

Sunset would be too obvious | Dancing in the Dark
https://shanghaimornings.wordpress.com/2016/01/21/sunset-would-be-too-obvious
Dancing in the Dark. Sunset would be too obvious. Waking up and trying to fall asleep again at around 5 AM this morning, I realized that everything is the same, except I’ve lost some inner refuge that lets me go to sleep easily. It’s not inner peace, it’s more like the ability to lull myself, to settle in. It’s kind of like putting weight on a sprained ankle. I don’t notice usually because my muscles are all tensed around it, but at night, when things relax. I can’t get away. Laquo; Sunrise,.

Fairy Tale for the Clinically Depressed | Dancing in the Dark
https://shanghaimornings.wordpress.com/2016/02/01/fairy-tales-for-the-clinically-depressed
Dancing in the Dark. Fairy Tale for the Clinically Depressed. There once was a girl who wished she was dead. Her friend invited her to a birthday party. She told jokes that made everybody laugh. They played musical chairs and everything was fine. But at the end of the party, she wished she was dead. She met a boy who took her to the seaside. They walked along the boardwalk and admired the waves. They ate cotton candy and fed the gulls. She smiled and laughed, and nothing seemed wrong. And he began to act...

If you | Dancing in the Dark
https://shanghaimornings.wordpress.com/2015/09/17/girlfriend
Dancing in the Dark. Ready to commit, and don’t ask me what I mean by commitment because I am using it as a catch-all term for things you do that make me feel threatened or uncomfortable or pressured so the definition will change depending on your actions and your actions alone. I will love you. The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Knowing what it means that such a you exists in the circle of my arms in this lonely, broken world. But only if you lose 20 pounds.
