everything hides
by Roy Zhang
I. we are the birds chirping at 4 a.m. trying to wake up the dreamers who shall never listen to our stories a song of dawn II. at dawn when the sun glows all songs hold their breath |
that's why mornings are so quiet even when it snows |
III. when snowflakes are dancing ferociously amongst the wind like white flames burning under the camouflage of rain they have no shadows everything hides under daylight :: :: :: :: :: the universe takes ten to the twenty-two hundredth years to cool down she once told me she envies the universe for having so much time |
