New Year Is Not New

New Year 
fair body of time 

New Year 
not every single moment is fair 

old 
crawling forward 
to get a life 

on resolution 
a new diary 
with a lotus stick 

saint to devil, 
evil to wise, 
night to day, 
winter to spring, 
cold to sun-rising, 
everything greets new year 
oh; not newly 
but by the old mauve in new urn

changing attire 
never can change the authentic inside 

changing resolution diary 
never can change the inside intimacy 

evil 
soars by own wings 
to taste the time newly 

saint 
flutters by own wings 
to taste the time newly 

new time never finds new taste 
by new costume old becomes new guest!
