living in Hawaii, missing home, my cousin Byong . .

returning to the city of angels, home sweet home . . .

being Hawaiian, I too left being so expensive . . .

together, growing up in Los Angeles. . .

going to Hollywood High . . .

sadly, visiting LA a few weeks ago. . .

he ashamed to be homeless, ashamed to meet me

having my heart bleeding with sadness . . .

having mothers being sex workers. . . . .

I being him, I missing Byong, crying now . . .

he being my hero for no one danced like him . . .

I loving him eternally, unconditionally. . .

why did thou give up on your dreams?

why my cousin? why?

we being the sky, the sun, the Hollywood hills . . .

the rain of love, the purple reign of the Prince of love. .

repeating the mantra of Love:

. . . . . Liberating Luminous Love . . . . .

. . . . . . . . . . Liberating Luminous Love . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . Liberating Luminous Love . . . . . .
