Opposite the Window (Hidden Love)

Trans. By: Tiong



Somebody says

you live opposite the window.

My eyes expand into

sparkling stars…

trembling for you

blink and blink…



Somebody says

you live opposite the window.

I seal into the hair of  night

for you… stitching love

in form of diary…

spreading before you

as you turn back

string by string…



Somebody says it is you

living opposite the window.

Adolescent, shock, and joy…

leaning in the sunset,

my net of sadness

extended toward your eyes

like ocean

waiting for you, rushing toward

my dried, long awaited heart,

twinkling, twinkling…
