"Passing By the Earth" (1999)
(Every single living human being who encountered the first ray of light of this new century will pass away this century)
If I should make it to
the final destination still clear-minded
could you even guess that
my intangible hand would still be strumming your lost lute?
if I should push open that
sunlight-uncontaminated yet-to-be constructed city gate and
still can find no place to rest
do you think that
your departed face could ever find my unborn pair of eyes?
