thank god 4 parents :)

one and one half me.

it is a world of mists.
existing in a parallel reality and time,
completely
separate
from the bustling of life itself.
where time is frosted in vapour,
and sulfurous fumes

coagulateinthicklayers;

above the waters' surface
of the onsen pools.

two people lie against the backdrop of eternity,
framed by a sky of black,
and twinkling lights.

one a man,
another barely there.
both unmoving
static, yet in communication.

the outdoor pool is approximately 42OC,
and as the snow falls on their faces,
lightly,
the less of me i find in me,
and the more of him.

finally we exit.
more of a father,
and less of a son.
