Tzu-Jan(Self-Ablaze)

TZU-JAN (Self-Ablaze) You show me your new skirt. Give me a little twirl. One to each side then completely around. Your skirt flares with excitement. A flash of white panties. Your hair a beautiful blur. Then showing off turning on a sixpence you become a human spinning top (lost inside your turning) nothing but speed & colour hitting a high C holding it forever your heart dizzy with exhilaration as you stumble into my arms a sudden splash of laughter you at the still center as world whirls about you held to the earth with only this kiss your heart a kite ready to break free from my trembling fingers desiring the freedom of the Heavens reining in this thing of beauty & imagination your heartbeat trapped within my human hand. ******* The literal translation of TZU-JAN is "self-ablaze" (but it could also be rendered) "the of-itself" or "occurrence appearing of itself." Or then again "being such of itself"...the "spontaneous...natural." This tiny moment of Frieda showing me her new bright red skirt then became a...something else...as she went into this spectacular demonstration of what one could do in a second with the odd moment at one's disposal. She completely transformed herself and the moment forever. I often sneak back into the memory of this just to see it again and be amazed all over again! A thing of beauty and a joy forever.
