Blood Cotton

Evening, around six o'clock

I step out onto the balcony, and there — cotton, reddened, spreading wide. I caught my breath

Cotton, scattered across the sky

I think it must have drunk in the sun's blood

The sun's blood isn't damp, somehow

Right now, if blood were to drip from that cotton, what color would it be — I try to imagine

But it stays dry, no matter how long. No blood runs through the cotton, after all. No blood runs through the cotton

Even though it looks just like blood vessels

The blood cotton, not even knowing who is who, in this hour of dusk

In the sky, I see myself, scattering the cotton

The sun's blood clings to it, dried on

This is only for today. Today is only today

The blood cotton spreads out like a reaching hand, but the one blood actually runs through is me

Your hands are covered in blood, dried

The sun's blood isn't damp, somehow

Right now, if blood were to drip from that cotton, what color would it be — I try to imagine

But it stays dry, no matter how long. No blood runs through the cotton, after all. No blood runs through the cotton

Even though it looks just like blood vessels

The blood cotton, not even knowing who is who, in this hour of dusk

A sight you can only see for ten minutes out of the whole day — I watch it, and there's nothing I can quite say

Ten minutes, and the cotton dyed red stays dry

In this hour of dusk, someone was bathed in the sun's blood. In this hour of dusk too, someone was bathed in the sun's blood

The cotton. Me, too. We were both bathed in the sun's blood. That's all it is
