The shadows of all the people flicker on and off, lit up by the dying street lights
There’s the smell of rubber and moisture in the air. There’s far too much talk to call this silence
Accordingly, my point of view won’t stay fixed; it skips over the stars and moves on to the northeast
Moths gather, but in any case, it’s futile–they burn down in my dreams, and after that, there’s nothing left
A ticket to ride with no destination, the evening scenery at the end of this life
Please take me quickly to the wasteland at the other side of the world
There are dog bones in the summer garden, dates marked on piles of corpses. I’ll trample upon them to head for tomorrow, singing until I spit up blood
With the notes of bronchitis. The cold wind from the northern mountains radiates in all directions, and even the desecration of the flowers that bloom there is allowed
I clicked my tongue at this town–no, it’s the town that did it to me
There’s a system to the myths of the children in the sandbox, and the gods dwell in each grain of sand
I get involved, unable to cut off this sociability. I cross over without reason and spit at them
I close myself off and doubt an afterlife, burning up clumsily, and after that, there’s nothing left
On the dividing line between beasts and men, silver flies swarm around life
Sperm makes a pilgrimage to sacred grounds, too soon to die in snowfall
A love hotel alongside the highway with a chaste twilight. An inadequate dawn, and the end of the world like a stutter
I swallow it down and choke, dew dripping down the curtains. Life burns down now at the galactic winter in the road
It straddled the back of a truck, and the years passed by
It flipped over at an intersection and shed blood
When I saw it through the window, I heard the crackling of life being burned
Speed and friction set off sparks
Speed and friction burn my organs
There’s a steam whistle in my body signaling my departure, and my blood is my escape route. Why is it that whenever I set out on a journey and draw near, I find myself getting farther away?
I shout out with even more irritation with the fractured scenery of today. A sliver of it pierces the ground. There’s an untainted shipwreck in February
Speed and friction burn my organs
