Golden
Crystal drowned in asphalt you gently hold,
Brawl-less mutant, an owl without a wing;
Mortals made silver, descended was gold.
Lost howls of heartbeat chained by rigid mold
Left good mild soul forgotten how to sing
Crystal drowned in asphalt you gently hold.
Escape from lies they have woven age-old,
Let spirit draw its bow across the string,
Mortals made silver, descended was gold.
O Sunshine fallen upon us, enfold
In your warmth we mire veins of paltry thing,
Crystal drowned in asphalt you gently hold.
Buried beneath bleak pile of nightfall cold,
Visions await the beam, a chance to spring,
Mortals made silver, descended was gold.
Imbue wastelands with ecstasies untold,
Bosom to which tepid half-dimmed blood cling,
Crystal drowned in asphalt you gently hold;
Mortals made silver, descended was gold.
創作於 2022 年 12 月，當時我剛剛接觸 villanelle （一種十九行詩），然後在看 Beastars ，便以劇中角色傑克作為發想，試著寫了這首拙作。
