Last New Year's
Lament, Like a Drop of Discontent

Last year's lament
Like a drop of discontent
If hatred was an inner howl
I don't carry it very well
Lest it leaves a hole in my soul
And would yours swell
At the very thought of it?
Would you suffer just a bit
As if a comet lit your loins.
Never a servant at your feet will I be
Too much for you
And this you do know
So flip off
As the closest, you're going to get next to me
Is the closet you crawled out of.
I dare you
I dare you
See my chin
Is it trembling
Is it thin
See my smile, is it fine?
I already read your fortune, didn't I?
Yet, still you try
Yes, still in forgiveness
A reach from your soul
But thunderous echos filled the night
A thrilled respite
A tempered twilight
Did it fasten like a spell?
Hard to tell
Most likely, if you could tilt the brim of it
You'd see your own reflection in it.
Peace be fortune
Peace, be well.
I wish you the finest dance
Right where you came from
So go back to hell.
