Southern Memos, V – Accepting life

Southern Memos, V – Accepting life

There are two sort of people:
the ones were born here and the others
fell in love and stayed

The first are somber, creased
skin and dark eyes, too
The men carry the weight of
seasons through ages of scarcity, believing they
could lower the sun's
trajectory and maybe rise their heads
an instant just enough to watch
Helius curling his hair
Meanwhile
women keep their beauty
in secrecy, not as a matter of shame
but as a sign of distrust only
broken before Selene's veil

The second are blind by the light
or they
wouldn't be in love

Destiny will bring them
together – this is not a question -
and time will sparkle the fuse in their
hearts.
