6) Roses of Sharon Have Blossomed!
Wolran Kim
Roses of Sharon have blossomed!
Suppress your bursts of laughter
Roses of Sharon have blossomed!
One two three, reach the wall quickly
Roses of Sharon have blossomed!
Catch the fallen Dharma doll quickly
Roses of Sharon have blossomed!
Red light, green light, do you wish time passed away as quickly as possible?
Roses of Sharon have blossomed!
Follow the steps of the elderly’s hesitant dance hanging in the air
Roses of Sharon have blossomed!
One two three, catch up to each tide of time
Roses of Sharon have blossomed!
One two three, bombs dropped from the seeker’s eyes
Roses of Sharon have blossomed!
Take off your New Year’s best, school uniform, and wedding dress, and STOP
Roses of Sharon have blossomed!
Wiggling, your belly, bloated out like a watermelon
Roses of Sharon have blossomed!
When a newborn baby strides, turning right round from light jumping
Roses of Sharon have blossomed!
When the alley darkens after swallowing children beyond the sunset
Roses of Sharon have blossomed!
When the pink flowers wither behind the eyes of Japanese police
Roses of Sharon have blossomed!
When the kid disappears who can’t fall asleep because of the New Year’s clothes
Roses of Sharon have blossomed!
Where was the starting point? You will be caught if you move
Roses of Sharon have blossomed!
In that moment, ten letters look back quickly and suddenly
