Elliot
Canto IX
This world is the same
As the world that I once knew
Though fairies exist
And I’m covered in dew
I visit my house on
Aeturnum St., 42
But everywhere I turn
There’s only memories of you;
Kimi no Kioku
Burn down the house
Build a new one somewhere else
These are the thoughts that are
Racing through my head
As I take in the paintings
Captioned by words you once said
Built this house myself
Though it never was a home
Boarded, made of lonely
Wishes remain untold
The fire is warm
Though the wood had been cold
I bask in the victory
Over what my mind told
