Note: [U kiyo] * Japanese – (n) living in the moment, detached from the bothers of life. the floating world.
sometimes, i want to float aimlessly like cloud and live a long life
but my mother said: one cannot always live as he desires. i want
to die here as a pianist, exhume the burden
breaths_ enveloped in melodies but, i gave my music away
to mask my incapacitation. i know one cannot coerce
the gentle hands of destiny, but in this swoon moment detached
from the bothers of life i exist, where birds rebelliously morph
into adornments, ornamenting my wide hungry belly. existing
in the instant when my lips turns into a giant balloon
sufficient to say “as you journey through my gut on horseback
may you find a secure passage ” but the voice never arrives.
i see bats hovering over my head
i smile. if only i have wings, let say i am able to see the
world from a new look. if only i could fly, imagine being
able to view the world from a different look. i shall tear down
the wings of my grief. if only i could reach the infinite sky, grief;
i will discard my griefs, then feel lighter again & float by like the sun
setting on a summer's evening. to whatever method we try to heal yet
somehow remains broken, a hotbed doll of bat settled within each other
bats, within bats, within bats, within
bats, within bats, until it's completed. this is
to say every moment holds its own bile.
