Throw away my body

You stay still in the air up there.

Your voice sounds cruel now.

I’m suffering for love.

You disappeared.

Oh, God.
You sound very far away.
I even said a prayer for you.
Then I packed your bags.

For five years I lived for you.

I’ve been here for 20 years

There’s a glow around you.
That was my spot.

All this waiting, waiting, waiting.

I hear it tonight over the telephone.
I’m not crying any more.

White Nights

All dressed in white.
I can’t even express
Something inside me
thinking, daydreaming …
Then my mother left …
me to believe in fairytales.

Forget the ghosts of the past!
the judgement of a man in love.
stories about stranglers,
tangible even in your dreams
all the windows of the house…
hangs heavy at home.

Yes, but it’s a mistake.
Tomorrow. Tomorrow.
insignificant man.
mending carpets at home.
crossing a bridge,
overnight on your own.

the minute I saw you
I burst into tears
I was wrong to want
the slip-knot …
pinned to her,
I’ve no desire

dances, even the difficult ones.
with despair …
What possessed you
I threw that letter away.
And a hundred traps
… because I love you.

I won’t ask you about it any more
… crying and waiting.
and sincere.
The women I know …
For days and days, I read her
like a man in love

Each time I hear those words,
THE END
Moonlight shines
to words of farewell.

I’m losing my voice.
from one mountain to the next.
bullets flying everywhere,
It’s meaningless.

I made it out of palm leaves.
With a desolate heart
I use it to signal.
Through distant clouds

Blossoms fall in my jade cup
Lost in thoughts
Casting its shadow
on Triangle Mountain.

The captain’s words
are singing a hymn.
in my sweet wine
in times of sorrow and pain.

a dead man is alive.
carrying a white box of ashes.
along the hills
Of ancient pine

floating on the breeze,
in the grasses and streams,
His beloved hometown
Whenever my loneliness

it’s difficult to express
the suffering of defeat yet.
The sutras and tradition tell us
Not only us,

Your presence gave me

Every last one of you,

After all the magic I spent

Be gentle…

Hidden in the night
Among all my memories

In the scent of a flower

A fickle heart is the only constant
There’s nothing there.
I bear an invitation

It feels like I’m in a dream…
It’s called Star Lake.

But a young man’s heart
Air raid siren.
Sighing away like that.

The promise of love
