Hide and Seek
\nafter a painting by William Merritt Chase<\/p>\n
by Xuan Tran<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Inside the dark
\nthe girl is running
\nShe passes the chair
\nShe passes the door
\nToward the curtain
\nUnknown to her
\na pair of eyes
\nkeep staring at her<\/p>\n
The dark running chair
\nThe door passes the girl
\nInside the curtain
\nThe unknown eyes
\nstaring toward the room<\/p>\n
A dark girl
\nstares at the door
\nUnknown to the curtain
\nThe room passes the eyes
\nTowards the chair<\/p>\n
The running curtain
\nKeeps passing the chair
\nThe girl stares
\nat the unknown eyes
\nA pair of darkness<\/p>\n
Passing the door
\nA pair of eyes
\nThe room stares
\ntoward the dark
\nThe girl inside the chair<\/p>\n
