(2013)
Tanka about the temptations of staying up late at night in front of the computer screen.
Tiny flashing lights Figures entwine together Closer and closer ‘closer than ever’ they say Beside our computer screens
A natural fog Too tired to remember Dowsing memories Broken alarm clock weeping Woe be to his faint tick, tock
Scattering shy leaves Skittering down two by two In Fall’s breeze they sink Forming such a golden path Blind-folded hearts can follow
A sudden rain flux A faintly calling whisper To turn off eyelids Yet I cannot shake my dream For just another hour
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
Perplexity breathes Into the hearts of all men In heart beat matters We shy our true intent like An elephant in the vent
No words escape me The sun will rise tomorrow Or so I am told
To cover the tears Some men will drown their sorrows Some just run away Some even will board their hearths To me? A path of rom-com
Self-expressional Crooked poster on the wall Self-intentional Will you shatter, will you fall? Who will fix your frame of old?
初めては いつも苦しい 二回には?
Seasonal ill’n Ado, ado, soft achoos Cool wind seeps through me
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!
Busy decisions Like an endless moon cycle Such a waxing life
A stone for a head A dauntingly fragile nose Sudden convulsions To lay my head down in peace My vestigial heart begs
A soft fluttering A pulse that pushes beyond Beating of the heart Oh to express the joys of, A soap opera here and there
