Laughter, Absurdity, Your Absence
LAUGHTER, ABSURDITY, YOUR ABSENCE
In my despair I asked the clairvoyant old woman
will you bring the sky to cheer me up?
She answered, “I can’t, the sky is already around you.”
I never knew the sky was around me.
Swans flying in pairs don’t feel lonely
Doves mating for life aren’t lonely either
Ducks warm their young ducklings with heat
their breasts give a cozy warmth, they feel affection
“But I can bring the sun to warm you,” she said.
"but I do not want that kind of warmth,
I miss my love's fervor
not the sun's heat."
Sometimes my misery turns to laughter with the absurdity
I’m not famous or rich but I'm not living a deprived life either
so why do I feel this depression that drowns me?
Could it be your absence drives me to the madness of loneliness?
