Whims pass like rain,
autumn’s chill upon my skin—
I stand, unmoved

This restless flutter within my chest,
I know not how to still it.
My heart drifts—toward you,
Toward myself—
Both paths feel right, both paths feel wrong.
Yet in this trembling, I linger,
Suspended between longing and being.

Leaning out from the apartment window,
I search for your shadow.
No—perhaps it’s the shadow of the two of us I seek.
Drowning in a dizzying illusion,
Outside the window, the cold air brushes my cheeks.

A stir within.
In the hollow of my chest,
something flutters—
a sudden, delicate beat like hidden wings.

It is a feeling without a name:
a tremor of longing,
of expectation,
or perhaps the faint shimmer
of light breaking through the dark.

A cat murmurs,
a tiny hum vibrating through its throat.
Beyond the glass,
the cries of unseen creatures weave
like ghostly threads through the morning air—
enchanting,
yet darkly laced with secret sin,
drawing the heart into their spell.

Cold now lifted—
your quiet care lingers still,
heart feels a soft smile.

Rising from my bed,
I chase the birdsong outside —
yet legs still stumble.

At the bottom of night,
a single light flickers far away.
When I reach for it,
it drifts off like a ripple—
yet its glow still lingers in my chest.

Each time the wind passes,
a faint warmth brushes my cheek.
Somewhere,
a breath still moves through the dark.

The cold returns,
again and again.

I wake to birdsong,
I wake to rain.

After how many awakenings
will this, too, pass?

I wait for time —
quietly, I rest.

I spot a rainbow,
Spreading my arms wide,
Believing that beyond it
Lies dreams and hope.
Reaching for those sweet desires,
My fingertips dance in the air.
The rainbow stretches on forever.

Recovering from cold,
Cooking after many days,
How does it taste?

Fever still lingers,

A fever rises
A heat that drives my whole body mad
Like a fully bloomed rose
Fiercely
My body burns
Thorns pierce through
The unconscious darkness spreads wide
And still, my body continues to blaze

You caught a cold,
and so did I —
sleeping through the same day.

Fever gives me rest,
work on hold for just a while—
cheeks curl in relief.

Fever flares again,
I feel my mother’s warm love—
Softly by my side.

From my sickbed,
a bird of autumn calls—
its name unknown.

Down with a cold, still—
like a shell sealed by the sea,
I breathe autumn’s hush.

The burning blood of joy flows quietly,
and the nightingale trembles its throat.

Pierced by the thorn called love,
she sheds tears named passion,
and still, she sings of longing—
her trembling voice reaching into the dark.

Caught in busy days,
a cold reminds me warmly
of human kindness.

I've caught a cold, so I'll be resting a bit longer. Take care, everyone!

My work has become quite busy, so I’ll be taking a break from Bluesky for a while.
I’ll post again when I return.
