(2013)
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!
愛の歌 空に隠れた それなのに この忘れない 音、まだ響く
The darkest of nights It is on these nights I turn To these keys, clicking Fervently beyond reason Behind safely shadowed doors
A midst cold classrooms Seemingly short dialect Audio-connect Slowly frozen hearts will drip As conversations bubble
No words escape me The sun will rise tomorrow Or so I am told
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
To puddle one’s words Few are willing to admit Myself least of all To fall and land upon earth Closer to Earth than before?
The end of the road A distance we all travel Darkness as moonlight Spreads over stone and flowers That litter our path ahead
I pray for the day When my mind is clear Silence, sweet silence Schemes and impulses forgone To live without a shadow
Busy decisions Like an endless moon cycle Such a waxing life
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
Once my beating heart Matched steel drum lines to-to-toe Teaching metronomes But now my beat has fallen Into syncopated depths
Such an empty sky Countless pensive glances are Over and over Swallowed swift, before their time If only I could keep them
Seasonal ill’n Ado, ado, soft achoos Cool wind seeps through me
The spotlight glares down Bright, bright, sight, sight My cloak swiftly surrounds White, White, Swish, Swish, The fabric shell billows but stays
