You Had a Star on Your Palm

How to be alone these days
when he is everywhere?
By the door, on the sofa, in the bathtub...
Air breathes his name;
your jacket clings on his odor;
the keys open the past.
Better to leave the balcony alone.
As there,
he held your hands, rubbed your thighs
and promised you a sky of twinkling stars.

Difficult he was.
Needed to be needy, needed to be alone;
Longed to be free yet wanted to feel secure;
Butterfly by day busy bee by night.
It turned out,
no matter how hard you tried,
the stars in his eyes were not the ones you saw.

Come and visit me in Guangzhou;
It would do you good.
You brought messy hair and a sleepy face
and murmured you used to do this kind of thing together...
Following other lonely travelers,
arrived we at the airport's time&space tunnel.
On the travelator and under beams of laser lights,
you held out your hand
and grabbed a star with your palm.
