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.
