yugen

yugen (df): to watch the sun sink behind a flower-clad hill, to wander on and on in a huge forest without thought of return, to stand upon the shore and gaze after a boat that disappears behind distant islands, to contemplate the flight of wild geese seen and lost among the clouds.

we are standing outside

and staring at the skyline

with some constellations

drawn as if by a child

and cranes with red lights

you try to describe

what's happening inside of you

but have to stop just after

first two words

cold stone under my feet

makes me shiver

I want to grab your hand

but I am afraid it

could fly away from me

like a startled bird

I guess there is not

much difference

between us

here

tonight

tomorrow

I will get a fever

and you will

bring me coffee

to bed
