~Ode to Knite~


Knite.

A story that

throws thousands of lights

in the dirty sky

The Swallow Kite

sings on the rooftop

and Sen's foot

hits on his fiery fist

instead of Kai's foot.

The money flutters around softly, he smiles, he glares.

A politician's charm and son his kite!

The crazy stepmother

with a fake child in

her womb

cries on the sofa

crooning cruelty

to the child that

will never come

Grabbing his neck, painting scars as compensation as he presses her stomach

And Min-Min sits at the window,

her IV going

DRIP, DROP

as if counting for the day the clear sky comes.

that he tries desperately for

to reach his mother

who departed

into the starry sky

And even if

Yu Zhen

will do anything

to block him and the Knites

He will keep going

For if his mother

is the sky that

is hidden behind

the dirty clouds

He will surely

keep trying

to reach her.

Even if it means fighting with Kai in the rain,

and destroying his kites in the storm

the rain easing away the clouds for a bit

making him a step closer to her.

For Min-Min.

For his Father.

For his crazy Stepmother.

For his Friends.

For his Enemies.

For his Mother.

For Sen. He is Sen.

And they are the Knites.

The Knites of the sky.
