San
By Ashitaka
Mononoke: brave and strong.
Your strength causes me to believe in your cause.
I with my curse.
You with your hate.
Your wolves howl and disagree.
My elk stays quiet.
Do you hate me like your kin?
Together, in a way,
We are both cursed.
You with your hate
I with mine.
If we do not overcome our curses,
Both of us will die.
San, my San, please.
Believe in me.
And I know my curse will abate.
And I know your hate will desist and dissolve.
But you are brash, brave, stubborn.
That is why I love you.
My San.
