Are you my father?
My eyes attracted by you /like an iced forest
Υour human name / been called by my blood
Breathless/ face to face /with you
Fall as dead bird /with slow motion
Against your blessing words /full of grace
forgive me for your other name
sing it/ at all nights /far from you
cluttering your human face
delve into the train tracks
or searching gracing lyric lines/ of yours
whether to find and then recite
before we run out of words
before the night will sleep on my eyelids
and not say the end is near
let it comes / will comes /only with loneliness
my father /my brother/ my lover/ my son
