(2013)
Written for a great friend of mine.
Howling and wailing Like the vast October winds Delightful to find Many who share the same chord Sing till frogs jump in our throat…
Lofting lazily Enter murky depths of feel Quivering eyelids Two heavy from the weight of The thoughts that lead me astray
Just for a moment To glimpse from dusty pages A single white flash Tenuous seconds follow Until a roaring reply
Busy decisions Like an endless moon cycle Such a waxing life
Such an empty sky Countless pensive glances are Over and over Swallowed swift, before their time If only I could keep them
Bickering tree frogs Endless croaking back and forth Dream a soothing song One where two branches can meet In this capital forest
愛の歌 空に隠れた それなのに この忘れない 音、まだ響く
To hide in plain sight Something we all yearn for, but Our differences Do not belong in the mud For mud cannot be polished
To etch a love song No earthy ink can suffice Only color drawn From such a naive heart-well Could paint even an inkling
A natural fog Too tired to remember Dowsing memories Broken alarm clock weeping Woe be to his faint tick, tock
The end of the road A distance we all travel Darkness as moonlight Spreads over stone and flowers That litter our path ahead
The mind of a girl That swirling vertex of bright Is unreachable So we put up these steel walls When we could have built a bridge!
I pray for the day When my mind is clear Silence, sweet silence Schemes and impulses forgone To live without a shadow
Why does music speak Without line or threads of time We plug ourselves in Forming an echo cocoon Never wanting to come out
My White Cloak Part one: Place Entering day by day (1) Into a place to grow and stay Into the foundational walls of old
