Summer Joy: Ice, water, cloud, sky

Heat surge up from the bathtub.

I bring my iced water with me to experience the "early summer" in my bathroom.

With the city-pop playlist, I chug my water.

Heat drive me to grab the leftover ice in my cup.

I put one piece of ice in the hot water,

Just like placing a piece of cloud in the sky...

 

Ice quickly turns translucent, just like cloud.

I try to catch and hold it just for fun,

But it always slips away from my hand,

Just like cloud, I can never reach and catch it.

That piece of ice dissolves very soon while I am stirring the water.

Just like clouds disappearing after blasts of wind.

 

This is my weird, little summer joy,

With ice, water, cloud, and sky.
