A soft fluttering A pulse that pushes beyond Beating of the heart Oh to express the joys of, A soap opera here and there

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 puddle one’s words Few are willing to admit Myself least of all To fall and land upon earth Closer to Earth than before?

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

Tiny flashing lights Figures entwine together Closer and closer ‘closer than ever’ they say Beside our computer screens

My White Cloak Part one: Place Entering day by day (1) Into a place to grow and stay Into the foundational walls of old

Seasonal ill’n Ado, ado, soft achoos Cool wind seeps through me

No words escape me The sun will rise tomorrow Or so I am told

Is there something dark? Dark, dark, deep down inside me Something that keeps me Away from the center ring A divergent path indeed

初めては いつも苦しい 二回には?

Busy decisions Like an endless moon cycle Such a waxing life

Flickering between The realms of light and shadow Why not close the shades? Sleep’s alluring charm welcomes Despite such early hours!

Fresh Seattle rain Cleanser more of soul than streets I envy that sound Such simple pure harmony Don’t forget that umbrella!

A blank white tablet Fuzzy buzzing silences Click, click, click, and yet That single black divider keeps Blinking an endless cycle

The darkest of nights It is on these nights I turn To these keys, clicking Fervently beyond reason Behind safely shadowed doors
