I know
I’ve loved you in another lifetime
with different eyes
and different smiles
but the same laughter
the same freckles
and the same heartbeat

etched across the stars
and written in our bones
how glad am I
that she knows you like that

A deer
helps lightning
run
from a ghost

A deer helps lightning run from a ghost

I have a gun
but the world is empty

I am still smaller than the god of my aim
Wait

Regret
has a moth
to bury

And I'd like to go away,
Somewhere far, far away.

Where theirs only the sound of birds chirping,
Only the sound of the river flowing.
Can reach me.

A small house,
With myself.
And me.

Where no loud noises can touch me.
Where no shoutings can find me.

So If i go,
No one would judge,
No one would talk.

And I'd like my memory to be dissolved—
To vanish into the air,
And that air would go to the polluted area.

So I'd like to go away,
Far, far, away,
Where nothing can reach me.
But the wind,
And the silence.

i wish
i could cover my hole body
with a huge veil
never missing any single prayer anymore
being faster than the time itself
and erase all my sins

.. but I'm no longer the idealistic person
   you knew long ago:
   I've greyed, changed and soured
   by what had gone before

   love, friendship and wonder
   they had all been washed ashore
   from life's once pure and serene water
   and they will return no more

   ah, beauty has withered
   and its voice is but a weak echo
   but when you were just twenty
   the meaning of life you'd hardly know
