"my hopes melted into blossoms"

Gu Cheng

i am sitting here.

i can not be

another person.

(waiting is the worst)

i am waiting for what?

(you.)

affirmation of smoke, i don't know

which one i am waiting for.

i am a lake, that shifts

slightly, my tides receding

as you leave. i am 

slipping out from under your

waves. i have fallen.

but fallen where in your eyes

i do not know.
