Distractions of youth Parade like bright spring flowers Always on the mind Entangling my weak heart To the land of mud and ice

Such sweet aroma Breathe in the color deeply Exhale precious wafts Crisp Citric spiral peelings, Fill my compost disposal

Life’s obligations A daunting sea of turmoil With crest after crest I’ll hide in this briny shell Till the tide forgets my name

A sudden waking From formless blinking through dre… Please, just one more year! Surprised to glance the moon’s fac… An hour before her phase

A stone for a head A dauntingly fragile nose Sudden convulsions To lay my head down in peace My vestigial heart begs

A natural fog Too tired to remember Dowsing memories Broken alarm clock weeping Woe be to his faint tick, tock

A soft fluttering A pulse that pushes beyond Beating of the heart Oh to express the joys of, A soap opera here and there

Fresh Seattle rain Cleanser more of soul than streets I envy that sound Such simple pure harmony Don’t forget that umbrella!

No words escape me The sun will rise tomorrow Or so I am told

Is there something dark? Dark, dark, deep down inside me Something that keeps me Away from the center ring A divergent path indeed

初めては いつも苦しい 二回には?

A midst cold classrooms Seemingly short dialect Audio-connect Slowly frozen hearts will drip As conversations bubble

To cover the tears Some men will drown their sorrows Some just run away Some even will board their hearths To me? A path of rom-com

愛の歌 空に隠れた それなのに この忘れない 音、まだ響く

Bickering tree frogs Endless croaking back and forth Dream a soothing song One where two branches can meet In this capital forest
