A Poem by R.K. Hughes
"

A tribute to one of my favorite vocaloid music producers. The poem is filled with references to his songs.

"


He died.

Powa Powa-P.

He died.

Thursday July 23rd 2015.

He died.

A Japanese composer.

He died.

 

Ichi, Ni, San, Shi, Go

 

He died a year ago during the hot season of summer

With cicadas screaming outside his window

He died �" I don’t know how

He knew the right answer

But chose to ignore it

His name written in red ink

Leads me-

It leads me to-

I don’t know.

I cannot even remember that.

 

Ichi, Ni, San, Shi, Go

 

He died.

He died an adult

Wanting to be a child

He died

Wanting to live

But as someone else

Someone dead

He died

With his youth gone

And without knowledge

Of how he even

Became

An adult

 

Ichi, Ni, San, Shi, Go

 

Suicide, I think it was suicide.

I see the right answer, but I ignore it

I move forward

I move forward

I block out

That empty correct answer

I am forgetting it

 

Ichi, Ni, San, Shi, Go

 

I found out that he died

I found out a year later

And was crushed
