(2013)
Flickering between The realms of light and shadow Why not close the shades? Sleep’s alluring charm welcomes Despite such early hours!
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
Once my beating heart Matched steel drum lines to-to-toe Teaching metronomes But now my beat has fallen Into syncopated depths
To hide in plain sight Something we all yearn for, but Our differences Do not belong in the mud For mud cannot be polished
Howling and wailing Like the vast October winds Delightful to find Many who share the same chord Sing till frogs jump in our throat…
愛の歌 空に隠れた それなのに この忘れない 音、まだ響く
Distractions of youth Parade like bright spring flowers Always on the mind Entangling my weak heart To the land of mud and ice
Tiny flashing lights Figures entwine together Closer and closer ‘closer than ever’ they say Beside our computer screens
Bickering tree frogs Endless croaking back and forth Dream a soothing song One where two branches can meet In this capital forest

Why does music speak Without line or threads of time We plug ourselves in Forming an echo cocoon Never wanting to come out
Fresh Seattle rain Cleanser more of soul than streets I envy that sound Such simple pure harmony Don’t forget that umbrella!
The words are muffled and shifting… The pounding won’t stop, the fraye… I hold onto a thread, a little blu… The tension is mine; it is a pain… Frenzied energy drains from my fin…
To etch a love song No earthy ink can suffice Only color drawn From such a naive heart-well Could paint even an inkling
