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

A blank white tablet Fuzzy buzzing silences Click, click, click, and yet That single black divider keeps Blinking an endless cycle
Anticipation Generic butterflies swarm Twists, knots, fluttering They find no golden nectar Only number two pencils
Why does music speak Without line or threads of time We plug ourselves in Forming an echo cocoon Never wanting to come out
To hide in plain sight Something we all yearn for, but Our differences Do not belong in the mud For mud cannot be polished
愛の歌 空に隠れた それなのに この忘れない 音、まだ響く
My White Cloak Part one: Place Entering day by day (1) Into a place to grow and stay Into the foundational walls of old
Flickering between The realms of light and shadow Why not close the shades? Sleep’s alluring charm welcomes Despite such early hours!
初めては いつも苦しい 二回には?
A midst cold classrooms Seemingly short dialect Audio-connect Slowly frozen hearts will drip As conversations bubble
A sudden rain flux A faintly calling whisper To turn off eyelids Yet I cannot shake my dream For just another hour
Self-expressional Crooked poster on the wall Self-intentional Will you shatter, will you fall? Who will fix your frame of old?
I pray for the day When my mind is clear Silence, sweet silence Schemes and impulses forgone To live without a shadow
Just for a moment To glimpse from dusty pages A single white flash Tenuous seconds follow Until a roaring reply
Tiny flashing lights Figures entwine together Closer and closer ‘closer than ever’ they say Beside our computer screens
Sweet little black box From metalic elogy Sleep now, sing no more
