Bitter Sweet

about

“When I think of you, fireflies in the marsh rise like the soul’s jewels, Lost to eternal longing, abandoning my body.”
—Izumi Shikibu

lyrics

Bitter Sweet

I don’t know the Sun
but
outside I have
made a mess of things
and
the days have gone
slow fleeting

You should know I’d swallow
You entirely
and
the wind is
a formless deity

We don’t know where a poem goes when its forgotten
Perhaps like love it sleeps in the recesses of our soul
And awakes in the boundaries of our pain.
