Fragments of the Scenario

From here to where you are,
I used to be separated by my footsteps,
but now no one cares that it is buried by weeds,
your eyes are only waiting for a green,
and everything other than your mind is placed on the white flowers outside the window.
And sad people want to avoid a blue,
and lie in the same nest with the queen every year.

The changes of light and shadow in the four seasons make people wonder why,
so I choose to walk towards the sunset and go
to the desert to see the lingering of wind and sand.
Recalling the evening when we were together one day,
you crushed a butterfly with your pale fingers, and the
clear liquid stuck to a begonia flower.
You said that things end like this, and
it is painful to render a kind of beauty,
so I stood opposite the distant mountains,
meditating on how the dark night swallows everyone's sight,
and no one can pray for eternal life in your lust.

  • Becky: It's a praying mantis. Do you know how they mate? The male will sneak up on the female and she'll bite off his head and the rest of his body will keep on mating and when they're done... She'll eat him. She'll eat the rest of him.
