(2013)
Wrote this after commuting to school one foggy day.

A soft fluttering A pulse that pushes beyond Beating of the heart Oh to express the joys of, A soap opera here and there
Self-expressional Crooked poster on the wall Self-intentional Will you shatter, will you fall? Who will fix your frame of old?
The end of the road A distance we all travel Darkness as moonlight Spreads over stone and flowers That litter our path ahead
Such sweet aroma Breathe in the color deeply Exhale precious wafts Crisp Citric spiral peelings, Fill my compost disposal
Fresh Seattle rain Cleanser more of soul than streets I envy that sound Such simple pure harmony Don’t forget that umbrella!
Distractions of youth Parade like bright spring flowers Always on the mind Entangling my weak heart To the land of mud and ice
初めては いつも苦しい 二回には?
Ask me who he is A tall tree and branches keen words drop; leaves shaken I try to collect them all But forget them by the stream
To etch a love song No earthy ink can suffice Only color drawn From such a naive heart-well Could paint even an inkling
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
Perplexity breathes Into the hearts of all men In heart beat matters We shy our true intent like An elephant in the vent
To grasp at the root This longing for the seasons Hidden deep, deep down To say it’s just “Natural,” Would only scratch the leaf-tops
Words without meaning An open mouth seems empty Trying to express Something that dances lightly Forefront of a clouded heart
Twelve in numbered spin Once reaching double digits Feel the crisp brisk sweeps Sudden gentle remainders Subtle breath of orange array
