THE PLANET CONCEIVING A FEW LIES
Is the devil a man who deceive someone
With a little bit of truth that a great untruth combined?
A word that is born a moment ago is lighter than a dandelion
A word that is buried waits her own resurrection on the wind path
A word that is missing threw herself a long ago
The spring has come like investigating something, but it is not the real one.
A noon that sun is blazing like midsummer
Full bloom of roses take season’s false pulse
As they conceive a smell of death
In the heart of the planet,
Swirling frenzied blood that is gang-raped, comes across straits
The womb of the planet
We don’t need any sonogram
A chunk labeled as an embryo
And a boundary of water
From fish, amphibian, reptile to mammal
That evolutionary seal
That false package of gene
Today, a gunfire bursts somewhere on the planet again
I can hear the heartbeat of the planet
An Embryo born today remembers the sound
Dream is the word of my own error
Dream is the word of my own error
As flowers blooming
In the backyard of an fallen dynasty
Seem clearer in their wretchedness,
The place I have never been
Is always full of primitive colors
It's a total natural colors cinemascope
From the memory of a kaleidoscope
The reason why the baobab put her root
On her heads with her branches
Is that she dreams all day and all night
It's because they reach their cells of dream
Towards the air
No, it's not
It's their fault that they only dream of the sky
Without taking her roots into the ground
The dream of seeping souls in a language
Though I only lost his shadow
His whole life always unfolds in my dreams
Every night I read his autobiography
Which waves like a panorama
I see the sea
I look at the sky and look at the universe
I see a fugitive from this life
Through the door named a dream
As a little pain comes in and pushes the big pain away,
As a dirty bacteria comes in and prevents a big sickness,
Dream is a vaccination
It's a theater showing a preview of life
The Angle of a blind spot
The faded sunlight shines through the leaves
Underneath the tree, the leaves turn into a navy blue canvas
A hazy curtain hung
At the evening when red and black are blended
The hour of the devil, neither day nor night
Spiders are coming down low
A bird flies low
Lives falling down from the air
Under the influence of that power,
The heaven comes to the earth
The boundary between the earth and the sky is erased
Now is the time to forget what we said during the day
At the end of the earth's axis
Where the blood of day and night is blended
A dream that hasn't cooled down is being buried
The sunset drags its feet carefully
Not to spill over the blood in a basket
A person also flows holding up their lives in critical condition
I came to see a walking tree of mirage
Created by the yearning for the sunshine, but...
A tree that has its own feet
A tree that has its root on its body
To move along to get nutrients
Suddenly, a cluster of trees looks like a group of people
A death spot
Appearing on the skin immediately after death
I wonder if the spot has buried lives in it
A moment
When things look dimly
At the evening neither day nor night,
The angle of a blind spot
That cannot distinguish this world or afterlife
