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!
My White Cloak Part one: Place Entering day by day (1) Into a place to grow and stay Into the foundational walls of old
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
Red and orange glitter Dancing delicately high Above winding paths Falling to the great grey streams Falling for grace, or duty?
Bickering tree frogs Endless croaking back and forth Dream a soothing song One where two branches can meet In this capital forest
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
The spotlight glares down Bright, bright, sight, sight My cloak swiftly surrounds White, White, Swish, Swish, The fabric shell billows but stays
Anticipation Generic butterflies swarm Twists, knots, fluttering They find no golden nectar Only number two pencils
Is there something dark? Dark, dark, deep down inside me Something that keeps me Away from the center ring A divergent path indeed
No words escape me The sun will rise tomorrow Or so I am told
Once my beating heart Matched steel drum lines to-to-toe Teaching metronomes But now my beat has fallen Into syncopated depths
Delicate surprise From behind blind-folded eyes That glint of glitter Sprinkle, sprinkle, floating down We reach out, we grasp, we drink
Seasonal ill’n Ado, ado, soft achoos Cool wind seeps through me
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
