Cafe

Cafe
by me(whatever)
to kamakura 

onomatopoeia,
blizzard at the next cafe
loose ribbons;
flowing from your collar.

we need a sound,
halolimnic.
unwrapping the dripping overcoat,
you sigh.

Silver spoon;
playing tomato soup.
rarissima,
music for your ears only.

blossoming kites,
painted cream walls.
laughter, easy atmosphere
umbraculiform.

Butterfly in a bottle

Butterfly in a bottle
by me(whatever)
to : Kamakura

Butterfly in a bottle,
cold fingertips.
ivy clinging
bending skyscrapers. 

sweet scent
acid rain
rusted neon signs
trembling lips.

splintered roots
misread letters
flutter wings
black eyes.

forgotten alleyway
faded graffiti
stained cheeks
silence.

Down the Hallway

Down the Hallway
by me(whatever)
9-19-13

The girl playing hangman,
in her physics notebook.
dotting the eyes without flourish,
she watches with a bored expression,
as the stick figure sways to and fro.

The girl down the hallway,
stops to stare at the construction.
The kids gab, and clinging to their fatuous rings
Hardly notice
as they step through cold air.

That girl in the locker,
curled like a gift to be opened.

The girl from the ceiling,
quietly whines like a record on replay.
Observing the flies buzzing contentedly,
she casually reaches out,
smearing one across the horizontal wall.

".........................................."

Ghost

Ghost
by me(whatever)
to Miku- piano lesson asp-mix

I am a ghost,
how are you?

In the night,
I hide in sleep.
no really,
how are you?

Who?

In the morning,
pulling on transient shoes,
I smile at the mirror sadly.

If you wish to know:

It was small accident,
it clacked over slipping and tracks,
the rhythm disappeared.

What do we have to say?
I spent it shamelessly,
on useless things like math and time.

Even rats stare through me,
as I walk over the city under my umbrella.
Was it useless?
Yes it was.

Tried so hard,
tried so hard.
but what would it do to feel rain?
It falls through me.

It fell,
not even reaching.
This boredom,
in the same reversible play list,
melts me somewhat translucent.

Duck, duck, goose, goose
following society's importance in role and value,
we end up staring at the corner of the spectrum. 

They walk through me,
like snails.
Attending classes, learning, learning,
the world at the black board. 

In the end,
I doubt I existed in the first place.

Is that why I'm here?

Humpty Dumpty

Excuse me for this useless blether, but I'm going to talk about Humpty Dumpty.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again.


I remember my friend posting once upon a time on her blog Chiaroscuro Knight, a question stating what in the world was he doing up there in the first place. The maze in my head gradually got stuck in another corner, and for some unfathomable reason, I was thinking about this egg character today.

Why was he up there in the first place?

Was he sitting up there, glorifying himself that he was better than everybody else? And his fall was justified? Or was he there because he was escaping from a sort of predator? Perhaps he just chose to take another perspective at the world, but was shot down by a misstep. Is it supposed to represent children in their recklessness? Or, even, maybe, his egg represents possibilities that couldn't be realized. Hmm?

I think I've already made my point, so I'm not going to go into an essay. I'm too lazy.
Good night to that.

Remember Me

Remember Me
by me(whatever)
to waking up without you
*This was mostly to practice Haiku form. 

Unable to find
a silhouette of your heart,
I sleep here alone.

In this circumstance,
My voice has withered away
even I have gone.

And the ceiling's blank,
gazing at those silent tears
it says not a word.

For the moon rises,
cascading light over room
whispering softly

Please don't forget me.

Lily Butterfly

Lily Butterfly
by me(whatever)
to Stones glowing in the Darkness (Laputa ost)

A young butterfly,
flitting here and there amongst the ballroom.
pretending to be interested in the decoration,
she plays innocent, does she?

The good children have already tucked in,
her storybook is closed between their sweet arms.
But still she opens her mouth,
singing her sweet nothings like showering flower petals.

"So, you venture to take her hand, young man?"
Don't worry, she'll answer you promptly and positively.
But I'd like you to be warned;
her company may prove fleeting.

It's like rewinding an old photograph,
she wears a lie that shows the truth.
Fluttering all night long,
she forgets it is all a dream.

Forbidden paradise,
a galley filled of lilies.
Floating, fluttering
down in the smoky fog.

And once again,
she knew how it would end.
breath on her throne of roses,
she opens her eyes.

The lantern illuminates the way,
down the river, drown the gate
she danced all night long,
she danced all night long.

The shadow,
the encounter,
and the man's hand
are rooted firmly to the ground.

blooming in desecration.

And she flits from here to there.
A flight in the blue morning air.
