Bottle Sea Train

 Bottle Sea Train
by me(whatever)
to miku- Orange Zotoropu

gatan goton*
on the forever running,
tracks through the blue sea
held tightly in a bottle.

memories
forgotten
accidentally
slip

through the afternoon light,
refracting through a window.
The comforting smell
of old leather.

A child on the line,
counting steps
running,
running.

gatan goton
as orange shifts to
a sky full of stars.
How far it goes,
no one knows.

sounds
forever
gone
suddenly

reheard in the sloshing
of a pair of yellow boots.
Echoing against the space
between floor and ceiling.

It remembers,
flowing
in the far-away.

Gathering broken hearts
on the Bottle Sea Train.

*(Jap)- onomatopoetic sound of a train,
literally "clickity-clack" or as such
