Feeling TRAPPED by LIFE, by FATE, and, there's, NO way out, and she can only, DAYDREAM…translated…
1.
The Grasses
Long & Short
The Roads
Twisted & Straight
But It'd Not Affected the Butterfly
Flying Around
To and Fro
Is the Butterfly, Free
Without the Flowers
She'd Panickily Searched Around
the painting of Van Gogh that inspired this poem...image from online
As the Flower Petals Got Baked to Soft by the Sun
Her Wings Grew Weak as Well
She'd Observed the Painter
This Creature in a Fedora
Why He Kept, Moving His Arms Around
Without Flight

In that World of Dreams
Your Dragon Wasn't Ill
Across the Oceans
You Continued Writing
The Poems on Love of Infatuation & of Loss
Your Pops
Kept Misidentifying You as
That Daughter of His at Nineteen, Constantly Smiling
You & Your Older Sister
Went on that Shopping Spree Abroad
Your Older Brother Was the Disc Jockey
At the Opening of Your Art Show
With the Identity of a Cleaning Lady
You'd, Gotten on the Cover of a Fashion Magazine
man's search for meaning...photo from online
You're Not Just a Grain of Rice
But a, Cloud, Shining Brightly
You'd Found a Letter
Wrote Back to the Sender
A Perfect Affair
That's What's Real
While This, Absurd Life
Unworthy of Your, Mentioning
