 Fluctuations of the Invisible Mind

What do you see?

Diffused reflections of the sunset

The surface of the river is illuminated

Its boundaries have separated you and me

My heart has been crushed along with yours

Don't reclaim it 

Look

I'm not you

You are not me

What do you see? (Maron Shibukowa)
