Where is When?

"The Day is words and rage.
The Day is order, earth and gold.
It is the philosophers in their cities;
It is the map-makers in their wastelands.
It is roads and milestones,
It is panic, laughter and sobriety;
White, and all enumerated things.
It is flesh; it is revenge; it is visibility.

The Night is blue and black.
The Night is silence, poetry and love.
It is the dancers in their grove of bones,
It is all transforming things.
It is fate, it is freedom.
It is masks and silver and ambiguity.
It is blood, it is forgiveness;
It is the invisible music of instinct."

A Simple Memento

Books.

The quiet hum of the two heavy-duty air-conditioners in the corner of the library.

Loneliness.

***

Just another day in school.

Just another Wednesday, I told myself.

Well, I hoped so.

Hoped.

Before I realised that today brought me far more enemies and sadness than yesterday.

***



Friends.

Do they exist?

Is a friend..
Someone that used to say he's my best friend last year, but now torments me through friends, because of a conflict weeks ago?

Or is a friend..
Someone that doesn't speak a word to you, because of just a minor misunderstanding?

Help.

Sigh.



A simple memento, reminding me silently that friendship does exist.
Thanks, Clarissa, and you too, Abby.

Signing off silently,
Ryo.
