Aquarium flippers caught our hands

It's like they whispered I love you

The sounds of aquariums smoked our ears

It's like they were screaming where are your eyes


The pieces of the bombed room rolled into a horn circled above our heads like birds

And the helicopters waved goodbye to us with a flock of tails, apparently they wanted to say something in the end that night


On the eve of the Hundred Years' War
