(2013)
Haiku about how life can sometimes feel overwhelming
愛の歌 空に隠れた それなのに この忘れない 音、まだ響く
Delicate surprise From behind blind-folded eyes That glint of glitter Sprinkle, sprinkle, floating down We reach out, we grasp, we drink
Anticipation Generic butterflies swarm Twists, knots, fluttering They find no golden nectar Only number two pencils
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
Howling and wailing Like the vast October winds Delightful to find Many who share the same chord Sing till frogs jump in our throat…
I guess it’s about that time again time for another pointless relapse Time, like a dusty album record Spinning, around and around on end I want the needle to break or veer…
Tiny flashing lights Figures entwine together Closer and closer ‘closer than ever’ they say Beside our computer screens
Lofting lazily Enter murky depths of feel Quivering eyelids Two heavy from the weight of The thoughts that lead me astray
Perplexity breathes Into the hearts of all men In heart beat matters We shy our true intent like An elephant in the vent
Seasonal ill’n Ado, ado, soft achoos Cool wind seeps through me
Such an empty sky Countless pensive glances are Over and over Swallowed swift, before their time If only I could keep them
The darkest of nights It is on these nights I turn To these keys, clicking Fervently beyond reason Behind safely shadowed doors
The end of the road A distance we all travel Darkness as moonlight Spreads over stone and flowers That litter our path ahead
My White Cloak Part one: Place Entering day by day (1) Into a place to grow and stay Into the foundational walls of old
The spotlight glares down Bright, bright, sight, sight My cloak swiftly surrounds White, White, Swish, Swish, The fabric shell billows but stays
