(2013)
Perplexity breathes Into the hearts of all men In heart beat matters We shy our true intent like An elephant in the vent
Just for a moment To glimpse from dusty pages A single white flash Tenuous seconds follow Until a roaring reply
To grasp at the root This longing for the seasons Hidden deep, deep down To say it’s just “Natural,” Would only scratch the leaf-tops
Bickering tree frogs Endless croaking back and forth Dream a soothing song One where two branches can meet In this capital forest
初めては いつも苦しい 二回には?
Once my beating heart Matched steel drum lines to-to-toe Teaching metronomes But now my beat has fallen Into syncopated depths
Archaic toiling Through endless character streams To drown deeper still Beneath black and white waters Until I breathe symbolly
Tonight I awoke to an orange hori… one that I had never greeted befor… It took me back, to the days of ce… and disregard for the ticking of c… Part two:
Scattering shy leaves Skittering down two by two In Fall’s breeze they sink Forming such a golden path Blind-folded hearts can follow
Words without meaning An open mouth seems empty Trying to express Something that dances lightly Forefront of a clouded heart
Is there something dark? Dark, dark, deep down inside me Something that keeps me Away from the center ring A divergent path indeed
Fresh Seattle rain Cleanser more of soul than streets I envy that sound Such simple pure harmony Don’t forget that umbrella!
Anticipation Generic butterflies swarm Twists, knots, fluttering They find no golden nectar Only number two pencils
Such an empty sky Countless pensive glances are Over and over Swallowed swift, before their time If only I could keep them
Red and orange glitter Dancing delicately high Above winding paths Falling to the great grey streams Falling for grace, or duty?
