1. Veiled Blessing
Yueqiao Chen
Jan 2025
In the name of joy,
they pull the red veil tighter—
a curtain woven from laughter and command.
Hands clap,
wine spills,
the bride’s silence ripples like fabric under light.
Tradition hums in the corner,
wearing a borrowed smile,
its breath thick with old dust and perfume.
I sew the wounds into silk,
dress the pain in sequins,
let the camera blink—
a soft rebellion in frame and rhythm.
If celebration is a cage,
then I will film its shadow.
If blessing is bruised,
I will let it bleed beautifully.

If pain must be seen to be believed,
then I will make it beautiful.
