(Do you know about) AUGUST by Yoshifumi Sakura
August is in intensity and it is poisoning.
The sun is burning the killed.
An old man who is weak is standing there.
He is looking at the stone, and fire,
and murmuring someone’s name.
Exposing the wound to the sky.
Last, he says,
“I don’t want history. Return human.”
He repeats over and over again.
“I don’t want history. Return human.”
