Sometimes a step too early
becomes the right step out of
inevitability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read my pen so eager for the paper it plants
the first kiss before my command
and with every kiss destroys the delete key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If it takes too much effort to find new paper then
our love can
only go on \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s see what forest grows out of cut trees.
A forest of cacti is
still life
even if, in Feng Shui, they would say it is full
of \u6740\u6c14\u2014
the kind of breath that kills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
