Delusion

Cloudberry. Lingonberry. Mullberry.

Your memory has the scent of dew on forest fruit.

Everyday

I chase your shadow and smile,

Through the forest,

But somehow

I always lose myself in darkness.

Without you,

My guiding light

I dive in shallow lakes

Searching for treasures that

I'll never find.

Melancholy takes her hold on me

As the cold water fills my lungs-

I don't fear death,

I fear chasing shadows and hares

That don't exist.
