Impression Practice
/by Sejo Pan
Unable still
Before sunset to reach the river
In our dreams.
All time and space cross over
In the delicate fates as thin as silky hair
When we are lost in the inseparable night.
Do you recall the brutal lullaby
Heard before sleep?
This falling rain
Incessant till dawn
As your footprints are
Erased by the morning light.
A strange city disappears on a familiar map.
You said we could not possibly have met at all.
Each starlight has been extinguished
As you have gone to your dreams
To your rest;
In the lights of the world
I am still left solitary wandering
Without a path
All the stars I lost count of
All the windows I missed
Out of step
Unable to walk to tomorrow's daylight.
