Shattered Name

Although I had no one particular in my mind wanted to see I waited anyway, I yearned and wandered to see one unreal like a shadow in the cloud of sundown darkness. I didn’t have one who I really wanted to see or one I must see with delight I waited with a burning heart on one actually not there, today as usual, all too soon passed away. I hadn’t anger or remorse more than bearable or reason to bang my breast and cry out loudly in the air I wreaked my wrath not to others but to myself again and again, while I was doing so I became red myself under eve’s sunset glow. I am losing my body temperature because I am lonely and comfortless and that’s why my bone chills from solitude. Although I didn’t consider running out and embracing anyone I meet on the road and rub cheek to cheek to receive other’s body temperature, I was raising my eyes to the air and called nameless name but when the name returned as an echo and fell to shatter on the ground, I was gathering the pieces for all night through without sleep.
