flcl, or:

…

like an alien could come to know shame

like an older girl sealing a boy's needs -

"i'm going to overflow" she said, lame.

"you're the one i saw first, Takkun..." she pleads.

nothing int'resting ever happens here -

i am ev'rything between - thus not seen -

and was for these women then themselves near:

i was ev'rything pathetic made mean...

and yet they... they were yet... despite... they gleamed -

they were the cruelty of all rightful prayers -

they the meaning of growth through theft redeemed -

they my or'gin as the end of all cares.

Mamimi, Haruko, i... used your love -

i, abused, am that god you seek above

…

end of evangelion, or:

...

the ocean is red, the sky tv-black

and neither of us can recall the sun -

why should we if light is ever life's smack

meant to mock any brief loss of dark won?

so i straddle, so i strangle, my friend -

corpse-still yet alive to isolate sin -

and then her hand meets my cheek to death lend

and my tears meet her face to void death's win.

"how disgusting" she says, hopelessly pure -

ev'ryone gone but us and i can't kill...

the moon was full - i remember its lure

and my mother's soul hung in the air 'til...

Asuka, our lives were to solve each other's:

i cared too much to spare you another's

…

serial experiments lain, or:

...

i was - i am - a girl; i know this now -

i am - was always - the earth, the abyss -

father, your silence was my own last vow -

mother, your hatred was my softest kiss -

i became three - i really met you then -

no, you then knew you already knew me -

alice, i needed you to know me when

not knowing myself i yet hurt you, free...

your hand on my heart after i scared you...

Alice, your hand on my heart the past loved...

i - gone - am all memory, i... the new...

the source of all love - to be loved - unloved...

Alice - Alice... - i am still your friend... please...

the sun seen walking - running - through the trees...

…

death note, or:

...

to puzzle the created world they write

to remind that it cannot be solved dead

while laughing knowing solving is death's right

and that only ignorance can be read.

"i am justice" - "i am justice" - we said -

who were we to each other but God's wed? -

justice is life affirmed beyond one's head -

justice is life denied towards where one's led -

and what is it that determines one's sight?

and what is it that orchestrates one's might?

there is nothing at stake if love is night -

there is all at stake if love makes things bright -

Light, your answer filled me with dread - and yet...

L, your answer filled me with dread - and yet...
