(2013)
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!
Such an empty sky Countless pensive glances are Over and over Swallowed swift, before their time If only I could keep them
The end of the road A distance we all travel Darkness as moonlight Spreads over stone and flowers That litter our path ahead
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
Distractions of youth Parade like bright spring flowers Always on the mind Entangling my weak heart To the land of mud and ice
A midst cold classrooms Seemingly short dialect Audio-connect Slowly frozen hearts will drip As conversations bubble
Words without meaning An open mouth seems empty Trying to express Something that dances lightly Forefront of a clouded heart
Perplexity breathes Into the hearts of all men In heart beat matters We shy our true intent like An elephant in the vent
Self-expressional Crooked poster on the wall Self-intentional Will you shatter, will you fall? Who will fix your frame of old?
Fresh Seattle rain Cleanser more of soul than streets I envy that sound Such simple pure harmony Don’t forget that umbrella!
Busy decisions Like an endless moon cycle Such a waxing life
Why does music speak Without line or threads of time We plug ourselves in Forming an echo cocoon Never wanting to come out
Such sweet aroma Breathe in the color deeply Exhale precious wafts Crisp Citric spiral peelings, Fill my compost disposal
A sudden rain flux A faintly calling whisper To turn off eyelids Yet I cannot shake my dream For just another hour
初めては いつも苦しい 二回には?
