Tokyo, December 2012
This city and your memory have something in common: Both are endless
Both rise like beasts that devour
I've walked these streets in the rain, seen the neon lights pulsating in my eyes, and the skyline breaking the night sky - I've sworn to forget you - But you always come back, like winter to the chestnuts, draining their colors and claiming the ripe fruit
You always come back, like silence stabbing through the murmur of a defeated city
You always come back like a sturdy and impatient bird
This city and your memory have something in common: Both are endless

Both are endless
