Endless stabs of broken concrete

A willow uprooted

A road overturned

An infinite horizon

Of desert and dust

Remnants of wars years past

A man walks along the

War-torn path,

A duster, hat,

Pistol in hand

The shining metal,

He slides his hand

Along the inscription,

Mochiagate Tokihanashite

(Lift me up, Let me go)

The man of

Dust and war

continues along

The road

Paved in gunshots and

Forged in warfare,

And he says to himself,

"May my hand,

Forget it's skill"

As he wishes

He had the heart

To drop his gun~
