Bloodline

So where did you meet this man?
This unknown man in your blood
This man that dries your riotous river,
This man that mounts mountain in your mind

This remnant; this man,
This man; this remnant,
This remnant of your man....
Your father
This soleless sandal of your parent,
This tatty trousers of your father,
This unmistakable mistakes 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 sandal 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 weaks,
Before summer colds,
Before smiling sun blues,
Before frog leaps.
