ain't first, ain't last

37

if someone shadows
disappear would you
come closer?

if i tell you their
back will turn to years,
or will vanish forever—
would you still wait until ages?

some people say,
it's good to know a forecast
so that you could brace yourself
once something is gonna land.

but what if in fall the last leaf
leaves its branch?

could you catch it?

catch the memories
of someone who's walking
away now in distance,
leaving the footprints
in the sand as the
pink-violet clouds
turns to a bloody one.

leaving it all behind.

would you still stay until
sunrise has no rays?

or would you choose
to walk away in a total separate ways?

'cause either the two
it feels the darkest blue.
