SutemashitaThe Flower of Carnage

A lonesome death . . .
In the early light,
The snow of mourning
Falls to the ground.

In the ragged ears
Of strays, and the homeless,
The geta of passerby
Are loud and piercing

Forever yearning, forever searching
For the peace of a cold heart;
Embracing only darkness,
All alone in the rain . . .

Maiden, you who tread
The empty, winding path of your life,
Where have you left
Your beautiful unshed tears?

The beautiful face,
Turned away,
Stares into the distance
In the night's brief respite.

Winter's frost
And the aching of bones
Dig in their claws,
Whispering of thunder.

Though the well is long dry,
And the heart is hard as stone,
No one sees the falling tears,
All alone in the rain . . .

Maiden, she who treads
Her broken road of bitterness and regret,
Where have you left
Your aching heart?

Honour - no; kindness - no;
Tears, no; dreams, no;
Rest, no; hope, no;
None are words I can ever know again.

Maiden, you who gave herself
To the river of bitterness and regret,
Were swept into the distance, consumed
By the darkness of oblivion.
