Circa Distancia - Poetry : "Reminders for Mei"

Reminders for Mei

d. steine


Because dying is like Heaven

While living is Hell that defines it.


Because everyone loves the flower

Yet never remembers the fragile seed.


Because if one is weak and travels

To where it is night while at home

It is light, then how weak

Is one who preferred to never to go away

Until he realized he could no longer stay?


Because ice kings and queens were born

Wet and warm into soft loving hands, and so

Finger traces and lips prints inherit

The ancient memories to unlock the tears

Even from winter’s eyes.


Because

Because there are a lot of reasons

For one to discover and claim

In the deaths of seasons, in washed out pain.
