"Sakura…
Subaru…
swept away by the Sakura."
-- Lady Sumeragi, 12th Head, in Tokyo Babylon vol. 5 "Save"
Ueno Park
[1]
The petals fly in the wind
As if coming down from Heaven
[2]
What on earth am I doing at this place?
[3]
The sky is dark
It will rain any time soon.
[4]
But when it does it is not the cold drip of water
but the warmth of blood.
[5]
The petals swirl in a graceful dance
Seducing.
[6]
I am
captured.
[7]
You are the life in the blossom
Full control of every one.
[6]
I cannot
escape.
[5]
The petals dissolve in the air
A sweet, familiar scent
The sky has turned completely pink.
[4]
The glass jewel that long since shattered
Still is stinging in my eyes
[3]
It might rain anytime now.
[2]
I let the vines take over
I have come to see you after all.
[1]
It's like coming down from Heaven
Falling mercilessly.
