LILIAN

Ah!
The accessible girl from remote villages

Warm breezes used to blow through your spica hair

You were born in far gone times

Who stole your rag doll

They deceived you with wildflowers in their hands

The swallows live a short life; don’t you know that?

Rockies would have witnessed,

The coming and going seasons

Skylarks have been shut, blood in the green

You are still yellow, hot

Ah!
Lilian, the girl with pink dreams of the purple mountains;

– Is your red dress still alive, on the cold dead? –
