Those kinds of nights

There are those kinds of days

Nights when sleep won't come
because a memory suddenly visits

Staring blankly at the ceiling,
tossing to erase the longing,
regretting even this time so I end up leaving something behind —
there are those kinds of days.

The fragment of a memory that lit a corner of the room with tenderness
sways in the cold outside the window and finally burns out

A sigh of 'rather this' as a kind of relief,
with that one handful of resignation even the phone's glow
quietly goes out — shhh
there are those kinds of days.

This English version was translated by Claude.
