And ultimately a poet unsung
Leaves the world silently
And shatters nothing, anywhere!

...
A colorful candle has just lit inside me
And the wax of words has started melting
Thus after many days-

That you could not kiss her.

We shall remember the lost spring.
Where is everything?
What is the future of things in the darkness?
