【EN】“Fractal Motel”

【EN】　By Senon Wakamiya

Goodbye.

The light
from this room

still shines,
unchanged.
—

1

Intellect.

Saudade.

Eroticism.

A little poison.

And middle school.

2

If you want

the beautiful feeling,

drink mud first.

It hurts—

but it is true.

3

You took me

for a small-time nobody.

Correct.

A small-time nobody.

Need something?

4

A swollen river

turns you on?

I see.

You like it too.

5

A woman posts a selfie

and you tell me

to hit Like

in two seconds flat?

You fool.

6

Do I look

like some punk

who gets a thrill

from your cleavage?

I do.

7

Mad talk

and someone else’s business.

I write poems,

fill in the sea,

and let it escape.

8

Again and again,

the same thing.

Still,

wanting to see you—

how hopeless.

9

No.

You only moved

from one maze

into another.

Still,

hold me.

10

I only wanted you

beside me.

So even if you said

nothing at all,

that was enough.
