(2013)
poem about how sometimes you really just can't force your poems out.
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!
Tiny flashing lights Figures entwine together Closer and closer ‘closer than ever’ they say Beside our computer screens
愛の歌 空に隠れた それなのに この忘れない 音、まだ響く
Archaic toiling Through endless character streams To drown deeper still Beneath black and white waters Until I breathe symbolly
Sweet little black box From metalic elogy Sleep now, sing no more
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
Is there something dark? Dark, dark, deep down inside me Something that keeps me Away from the center ring A divergent path indeed
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
Bickering tree frogs Endless croaking back and forth Dream a soothing song One where two branches can meet In this capital forest
Busy decisions Like an endless moon cycle Such a waxing life
No words escape me The sun will rise tomorrow Or so I am told
Lofting lazily Enter murky depths of feel Quivering eyelids Two heavy from the weight of The thoughts that lead me astray
Anticipation Generic butterflies swarm Twists, knots, fluttering They find no golden nectar Only number two pencils
A midst cold classrooms Seemingly short dialect Audio-connect Slowly frozen hearts will drip As conversations bubble
The spotlight glares down Bright, bright, sight, sight My cloak swiftly surrounds White, White, Swish, Swish, The fabric shell billows but stays
