blues untuk aku

seperti bintang-bintang
hilang ditelan malam,
bagai harus melangkah
tanpa kutahu arah.
lepaskan aku dari
derita tak bertepi,
saat kau tak disini.

seperti dedaunan
berjatuhan di taman,
bagaikan debur ombak
mampu pecahkan karang.
lepaskan aku dari
derita tak berakhir,
saat kau tak ada disini

When I compare my body stretched out beside that boy, thought Yuichi, with my body now stretched out beside Yasuko, I feel so cheap. Yasuko does not give her body to me; I give mine to her, and I do it free. I am an unpaid prostitute. These self-deprecating thoughts did not hurt him as before; somehow they delighted him. Tired, he slowly sank into slumber - like a lazy prostitute. Forbidden Colours, Yukio Mishima
