Epilogue

Uriel was blue, too. As blue as the poem Erin wrote months and months ago. As blue as Gihyun's quivering lips when he read it to him aloud. He wished he could reach beyond the glass barrier and warm his small hands up.

Blue, blue like the moonlight,

Bluer than every blue,

I'm speaking of your eyes,

those blue mendacities,

Oceans of restlessness.

Blue is my heart,

The sea that is held captive,

This is destiny's visage,

That takes its colour from you.

When I stare at the depth of the tiled pond,

I feel like I'm staring into you,

Even though you are absent.

I see your eyes in the color of the universe,

I genuflect to you.

Blue, blue like the moonlight,

Bluer than every blue,

I'm speaking of your eyes;

those blue mendacities,

Oceans of restle
