酷我-北美枫

[anna]

Who am I?
I wonder.
For time to time,
I am worried.
My crystal clear body
makes me nobody,
as if I never exist.

My owner bought me for that -
an empty heart.
Every few days, she refills me
with fresh water
and carefully organized flowers.
Her gaze will stop on the top -
the soon to-be-withered blossom.

I am here for years -
holding various flora.
Sometimes I pity on them.
but othe times, I want to die with them -
as if that can win over her heart.

The Fish in a tank

You named me once,
then forgot;
I don't blame you,
what is the point to name a fish?

You dutifully feed me,
I should thank you, I guess,
no matter how cold the water is.

Now and then I worry
if I can overlive you:
this house is another water tank,
you don't have any gill.

When night comes, you dream
and I dream too.
There I teach you how to swim,
how to live with ignorance.

But my eyes never fully close,
sheding a tank of tear with slience.
