響 (hibiki)
(2013)
A soft fluttering A pulse that pushes beyond Beating of the heart Oh to express the joys of, A soap opera here and there
Anticipation Generic butterflies swarm Twists, knots, fluttering They find no golden nectar Only number two pencils
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
A sudden rain flux A faintly calling whisper To turn off eyelids Yet I cannot shake my dream For just another hour
Once my beating heart Matched steel drum lines to-to-toe Teaching metronomes But now my beat has fallen Into syncopated depths
To etch a love song No earthy ink can suffice Only color drawn From such a naive heart-well Could paint even an inkling
Such sweet aroma Breathe in the color deeply Exhale precious wafts Crisp Citric spiral peelings, Fill my compost disposal
Bickering tree frogs Endless croaking back and forth Dream a soothing song One where two branches can meet In this capital forest
Why does music speak Without line or threads of time We plug ourselves in Forming an echo cocoon Never wanting to come out
初めては いつも苦しい 二回には?
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!
Red and orange glitter Dancing delicately high Above winding paths Falling to the great grey streams Falling for grace, or duty?
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
Five points to this as stated thus… Five; to pick up things once falle… Four; to grasp all things from wir… Three; to greet, to cheat, and din… Two; to bind wild lovers with gold…
The darkest of nights It is on these nights I turn To these keys, clicking Fervently beyond reason Behind safely shadowed doors
