THE BUS CALLED TOMORROW
In the hands that missed the last train
I wish I had wheels and not a ticket.
The next bus is tomorrow
The hope bus is tomorrow
Cherry tree petals, whose tomorrow
cannot be predicted, are rushing in.
I sit in a dark chair and count flower petals.
Three petals, nine petals, fifteen petals,
thirty-two petals
If I wait for tomorrow, will it be fruitful?
If the bus disappears forever today
On the bus tomorrow
What can I load?
The old moon.
A distorted old moon.
The old moon with no tomorrow.
But the old moon does not cry.
Just a little bit, far away tomorrow
Just as the lonely old moon, growing old alone, never gives up hope
I wish buses had life too.
The next bus is tomorrow
Tomorrow is the day when hope goes to meet the sun.
Resume due today
A day waiting for tomorrow’s bus.
Hope for the bus tomorrow.
Dark cats wandering around without any
nationality.
Dark cats who don’t believe in tomorrow.
By the way, where is your country?
I will give you this ticket.
