Bats and black gold

Last night I reached home.
The garden across the street at my parent's place.
I love the smell of the earth that warmly embraces.
I swear it smells sweet.
I've been looking out for bats in the garden.

and the hibiscus plant that my neighbour threw away
something swooped between the trees and I think its a bat.

or a personal motivator
When you have an idea
in the head
roaring

Under Yohji Yamamoto


偶像 - "That's why I'm always heading in my own direction,in parallel to fashion. Because if you're not waking up what is asleep, you might as well stay on the beaten path"
Yohji Yamamoto.



In a struggle to stay a float, I wrote this on my wall,in a room I slept in at my parent's place.
After 6 years, I breathe easy sleeping in this room, but it is not where I live at ease.
