Playground inside an estate, planters & old pavilion in the center, windows of residential as backdrop.

1272 hours
Departed
Fragments color of
Green tea, salmon & the sea
All turns into dust of memories

Giggling sizzling below trees
Crazy runners of laughter
Playing hide & seek
Last race before dinner…
Last joy in this Spring

Who is there…still
Hiding in this defragmented shelter
Amber lampshade without light
Smoke from the ashtray beneath
Sorrow eyes could see

The only radio wave deliver
Serenades for a remnant, of
Nowhere equipped
Lullaby of the night, or
Lament for fighters who fight

The last flame of faith diminished
In a dark oneway lane
Shouting from hell shrouded by
Motionless air
Echo of injustice refrain
