Substitution
By: Aviantei
It's easy,
he whispers.
Silence suffers;
substitute sound.
Synergize symphonies,
signal these citizen's lives.
But I know
if I fail they suffer,
if I fail they die.
Cities shouldn't rest on sinner's shoulders.
Murder should not condone
inheritance.
But I am the symbol,
this sentence seeping silently,
and I wonder:
Was this the world you wanted me to see?
[Author's Notes]
Another poem from my Master's program, where the goal was to use sound in a poem. Since Kitaniji's a snake, I went for the hissing. Also for angsty Yoshiya? Take this as you will.
Thanks to TrimusicaDrag00n90 for your favorite!
If you want more of my interpretation of Yoshiya (which I can't guarantee won't be angsty at some point), my multi-chapter TWEWY fic Muse is now ongoing as part of [Shibuya Operation - Story Storm].
More poems to come in the upcoming year. Please look forward to it!
