This lullaby won’t do
I am sorry, little Akio
I cannot get to you in time
I am too close to the
Event horizon of last summer
And you are too far away:
Moving forward in time,
As most people do
I am sorry, little Akio
I want to do so, too:
So that we can live
The same summer, together,
But gravity weighs stronger
For me. Do you remember?
I know I cannot
Stop remembering
I am sorry, little Akio
When I cannot make out your words
They are only delayed, you see
They wait and wait before they reach
The good part of my brain
But your patience runs out faster
And you run away. It is like this
That I can never ask you: please stay,
Little Akio, please stay
