Anticipation Generic butterflies swarm Twists, knots, fluttering They find no golden nectar Only number two pencils
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…
Tiny flashing lights Figures entwine together Closer and closer ‘closer than ever’ they say Beside our computer screens
Scattering shy leaves Skittering down two by two In Fall’s breeze they sink Forming such a golden path Blind-folded hearts can follow
初めては いつも苦しい 二回には?
Lofting lazily Enter murky depths of feel Quivering eyelids Two heavy from the weight of The thoughts that lead me astray
My White Cloak Part one: Place Entering day by day (1) Into a place to grow and stay Into the foundational walls of old
A blank white tablet Fuzzy buzzing silences Click, click, click, and yet That single black divider keeps Blinking an endless cycle
Red and orange glitter Dancing delicately high Above winding paths Falling to the great grey streams Falling for grace, or duty?
The spotlight glares down Bright, bright, sight, sight My cloak swiftly surrounds White, White, Swish, Swish, The fabric shell billows but stays
To cover the tears Some men will drown their sorrows Some just run away Some even will board their hearths To me? A path of rom-com
I guess it’s about that time again time for another pointless relapse Time, like a dusty album record Spinning, around and around on end I want the needle to break or veer…
Busy decisions Like an endless moon cycle Such a waxing life
No words escape me The sun will rise tomorrow Or so I am told
Such an empty sky Countless pensive glances are Over and over Swallowed swift, before their time If only I could keep them
