Bloodline

So where have you met this man?
This unknown man in your blood
This man that dry your riotous river,
This man that mount mountain in your mind

This remnant; this man,
This man this remnant,
This remnant of your man....
Your father
This soleless sandals of your parent,
This tatty trousers of your father,
This unmistakable mistake of your parent

He is a gate before your ways,
He is like poor pig in your precious room,
The inkless pen inherited from your parent,
Your foolish tie,
Mischievous wristwatch around your wrist
This same soleless sandals on your feet
Senseless shirt on you,
Your priceless problem,
Your gorgeous guilt,
Your enemy's good and beautiful behavior
Your opened door to murmuring Infants
And you keep mute out of unknown

You had better go to nearest hospital for treatment,
Before birds blew the soil,
Before sky mourns,
Before color hiss,
Before wind weeps,
Before gold dies,
Before hair weak,
Before summer cold,
Before smiling sun blues,
Before frog leap.
