“Photosynthesis”

Another empty box of menthols, a farewell to arms So long as there’s plenty of light, the morning will always feel new

Already even the despondence of yesterday feels so far away now So becoming transparent, I photosynthesize

The drifting ghost of time will disappear at once

How should I talk So that these feelings will reach you? Something so certain should be more wonderful Than finding a reason to breathe

Another spoken contradiction, crime and punishment So easy it is to lock one up and throw away the key

Heat running to the fingertips that touched the scattered fragments

How should I talk So that these feelings will reach you? Something so certain should be more wonderful Than finding a reason to breathe

Someone talked to me the other day All of the things that live brightly Overflowing with morning sunlight That is everything to me now

“A Hymn”

Miffy, with your rabbit eyes, What do you see alongside sadness? Delusions, a moon sharpened to a needle’s point Leaves a deep scar in the mucous membrane of the night Fleeting, ephemeral flowers Simply bewitching, they burn again A kiss, perhaps rotting nectar Growing cloudy, look, through the steam of tears

Moonlight is falling, a carousel Goes round and round, the tears dry up, I wonder how far the heart can take you? God seems to have degenerated

A hymn resounds across A multicolored world all the way to you When it touches the glittering tears of dreams, It feels as if everything is forgiven

Hallucinations, simply breaking To forget is, perhaps, happiness A mirage, flowers, the color of anxiety The feelings of mine that are impossible to analyze

Twilight comes, and even though the spell breaks, You’re the only one that disappears While flying with borrowed wings, God seems to have degenerated

A hymn resounds across A multicolored world all the way to you When it touches the glittering tears of dreams, it’s like everything is forgiven, And this hymn, please tell me The meaning of eternity The glittering tears of dreams spill out, Because everything is saved That’s how it felt
