Japanese Rose

Rose had a house in a dream
where she used to seat and have tea.
Now, it’s not there anymore.
She baked little moons with her mother
and learnt how to fish with her father
but now they’re not there anymore.
And she says «why did the sea take them from me?»
«Was he angry I didn’t learn how to swim?»
so she cries, hoping that the tears in her eyes
will take her to see them once more.
She hears people say that it’s over
that the waves have all gone to sleep
and they won’t come around anymore.
And she says «why did the sea take them from me?»
«Was he angry I didn’t learn how to swim?»
so she cries, hoping that the tears in her eyes
will take her to see them once more.
