Tonight



Tonight
Laijon Liu 20180216

Tonight, roses will grow on my skull
and my pale skeleton
will be rubbed golden

Tonight, Jesus will knock on my door
we will drink dark beer
and talk about women

Tonight, Friedrich Gulda plays Moonlight[1]
the moon kisses the soft meadow
and river stream

Tonight, I will finally be loved
my spits taste sweet and smooth
like liquor filled chocolates

Note:
inspired by Hai Zi’s poem facing the sea, spring blooms (海子 面朝大海,春暖花开)
[1] Friedrich Gulda plays Beethoven Moonlight piano sonata No.14 in C sharp minor Op27-2 adagio sostenuto link
