[.Jossachu.]

A young gentleman was removed from his home to live elsewhere
within a few days he had become very depressed
he sang to himself quietly every night
songs about sorrows
the people he left
his doubt and fear of his leaving
every night
questions about
what happens
when
we
die

A young maiden was removed from her home to live elsewhere.
within a few days she had become very depressed,
she sang to the sky every night
songs about joy
The friendships she had
the opportunities
now avaliable.
every night,
questions about
what happens
when
we
go...

one night they had heard each other singing
how different they were
how opposite
but also,
how similar.

In love, they met every night.
their loneliness gone
but
they still sang
about
what happens
when we're gone.

One night
A jealous woman gives poisoned berries to the young man.
The man not knowing they were deadly
gives them to his lover,

within minutes
she's gone.

unable to live with himself
the young man
sings for her
so loudly,
with such passionate sorrow and fury,
he ruptures his own throat,
coughs up blood,
and drowns in it
all the while
he still gurgled his song
for his only love.


a red bird shot dead by an arrow
lies on the beach
we buried it in the sand
his grave is gone by the morning
the tide had carried it away.
