(2013)
Such sweet aroma Breathe in the color deeply Exhale precious wafts Crisp Citric spiral peelings, Fill my compost disposal
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
Such an empty sky Countless pensive glances are Over and over Swallowed swift, before their time If only I could keep them
A stone for a head A dauntingly fragile nose Sudden convulsions To lay my head down in peace My vestigial heart begs
Archaic toiling Through endless character streams To drown deeper still Beneath black and white waters Until I breathe symbolly
Foggy morning sky Your veil remains untouched by The flags of Autumn How cruel of you to kidnap Such keen keepsakes of your kin
My White Cloak Part one: Place Entering day by day (1) Into a place to grow and stay Into the foundational walls of old
Bickering tree frogs Endless croaking back and forth Dream a soothing song One where two branches can meet In this capital forest
Red and orange glitter Dancing delicately high Above winding paths Falling to the great grey streams Falling for grace, or duty?
Perplexity breathes Into the hearts of all men In heart beat matters We shy our true intent like An elephant in the vent
初めては いつも苦しい 二回には?
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
Sweet little black box From metalic elogy Sleep now, sing no more
Seasonal ill’n Ado, ado, soft achoos Cool wind seeps through me
A blank white tablet Fuzzy buzzing silences Click, click, click, and yet That single black divider keeps Blinking an endless cycle
