Memory is soy water in a tin
Which is bought at backyard shop
That was put in the refrigerator
Before taken out when thirsty
I let the heat be absorbed
For a few seconds.

Rasa loves still young
4 years ago & we are still learning another -
Name that suitable for challenge &
Funny laugh & mathematics homework
That down-up-up-down it’s golden breath
But only nothingness that we have found
Feelings as small as sugar getting sweeter
Uh, I know…I should give a lot of thanks to you
Because you are my first teacher
Who tells me “Falling in love is another way to end a friendship”
Nostalgia is our real enemy
& reality is a dumb bitter gourd.
