Today I woke up to fly back and deliver the news
The ink in my pen was as dry as my eyes
After weeks of trying to choose
Cormorants
Cormorants flew by the riverside
Weeknights
Weeknights you'd tell me
There's nothing more important than speaking your mind
I caught a bug when I traveled abroad to Batu
A night of hard drinking then I met a man
And I let myself forget about you
Lover
Feelings that float like the birds in disguise
Siblings
You introduced me, told me they liked how I fluttered my eyes
I kept a record of the times that I wrote back to you
All of the letters you wrote out to me
Vastly outnumbered my few
Wildfire
Wildfire that spreads as the conflict grows
Armor
Was I the shield or the sword when I told you that I had to go
I watched the sun rising up as we flew through Japan
I couldn't sleep there at all from anxiety
Was it my heart or my hand
Needles
Needles of pine lay like bones on the ground
Rainfall
I can't forget what you meant when you told me
That you'd be around

Edges or frills
Painted borders around the windowsill
Shadow I see
Silhouette behind the backdoor screen
Juniper outside
Full of silver blue and berries bright
And by the shed, I see
That your form remains on a bed of leaves
Never will I be so tried
It's just one more thing that I can't describe
Ever since my first mistake
All the words I want only fall away
Wash me up upon your shore
I don't want to be alone no more
Empty as a proven truth
When I look outside, all I see is you
Proud marigold
Making faces at the fear it knows
Temperature and time
Soon will wither at its sturdy spine
Wanting never gives
It's just water through a metal sieve
So recedes the tide
There's no shade without a source of light
Will I ever get to know
It's a grain of rice in the melting snow
I can still recall your cough
Every day's so slow since you took off
Who will walk these hallow halls
All the doors once closed now left ajar
Maybe I don't get to choose
When I look outside, all I see is you
