Poem about feeling extra sleepy early in the day.

Archaic toiling Through endless character streams To drown deeper still Beneath black and white waters Until I breathe symbolly
Bickering tree frogs Endless croaking back and forth Dream a soothing song One where two branches can meet In this capital forest
Busy decisions Like an endless moon cycle Such a waxing life
To hide in plain sight Something we all yearn for, but Our differences Do not belong in the mud For mud cannot be polished
A sudden rain flux A faintly calling whisper To turn off eyelids Yet I cannot shake my dream For just another hour
Scattering shy leaves Skittering down two by two In Fall’s breeze they sink Forming such a golden path Blind-folded hearts can follow
Anticipation Generic butterflies swarm Twists, knots, fluttering They find no golden nectar Only number two pencils
Howling and wailing Like the vast October winds Delightful to find Many who share the same chord Sing till frogs jump in our throat…
Why does music speak Without line or threads of time We plug ourselves in Forming an echo cocoon Never wanting to come out
初めては いつも苦しい 二回には?
A sudden waking From formless blinking through dre… Please, just one more year! Surprised to glance the moon’s fac… An hour before her phase
No words escape me The sun will rise tomorrow Or so I am told
Foggy morning sky Your veil remains untouched by The flags of Autumn How cruel of you to kidnap Such keen keepsakes of your kin
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
Lofting lazily Enter murky depths of feel Quivering eyelids Two heavy from the weight of The thoughts that lead me astray
