If Glory Could Last ForeverA Poem by Nao Deguchi
Rose, watches over me as The valley where lovers were traced I do not need to go back there Blue, are the horses that carry me Into the deep sky befriended The stars, who are my keeper I wish to incarnate there Into mental spirit powers Green, is the body of my biology An estrangement of a hundred desires They surge in me, for you Your hips and lips that sing Gold, is the morning of my shifting change My broken bundle of loving mirrors That will not perceive any of you As you are, though how could it be? Red, is the entrance into the world And her return from which There is no defense, only a comfort Of repetition, that isn’t truly Comfortable of all White, is the last stand Where I-love-you must be traded away For higher better things.
