Black Wall

-- To the woman in Matisse's painting "Black Table" (1919)

 

Teacup on the table

Woman with eyes wide open Woman wearing a hat

Midnight bouquet’s abdominal breathing Dahnjeon breathing method  

I'm gathering my Chi energy at Dahnjeon point, you know

 

Trapped in a wall darker than pitch black

Dragon is wriggling in snow white light

 

 

Note on the Muse:

A bouquet flowers is alive in front of Matisse's woman,

Behind her back, a dragon is alive whitely like the Snow White!
