Apple Peel

Apple Peel
by me(whatever)
to Setsuna Plus

why do you act the way you do?
from the camera,
I watch the outside.
Surely it's just a little thing,
but the question I have to keep asking,
is "who are you?"

the portraits in the winding hallways,
reflecting the unhappiness of humanity.
I wrote a letter to you
peeled of apple skins,
smiling, smiling, smiling
with every tiny phrase.

Is this good enough?
with all the jokes aside,
I'm becoming quite tired.
If you envy the sky fish,
would you open the books every once in a while?
please forgive my bluff.

ten thousand leaves,
floating decapitated through my head.
The pages I marked with them,
grow a million apple trees.
It's almost like fear,
sprouting beneath the eaves.

Daruma

Daruma
by me(whatever)
to Leave in Summer, Yet you're in my Fluffoughts

Mr. Daruma, Mr. Daruma,
why do you follow me so?
From the pinnacles of Tokyo tower,
to the depths of London below,
I feel you from the shadows.

Your eye gleams black,
even in the shimmering sunny day.
It's always the same,
your play of dismay,
so why can't I get away?

Mr. Daruma, Mr. Daruma,
the summer is waning thin.
this train has taken me
as far as I have yet to begin.

Mr. Daruma, Mr. Daruma,
I won't walk from the past as you do.
adieu to your wishes,
I refuse to be blue,
yet wouldn't you agree too?

Birdcage

Birdcage
by me(whatever)
to Fly Out

goldfish swimming in a bowl,
the hardwood desk she sits at.
Words I don't understand,
the window to the world.

Wings, beak, and talons,
chirping tomorrow's short songs
the hands who trespass,
the echoing daylight.

A slow life, a bored life,
I've always flitted the distance
from pole to pole
in the window to the world.

the staring goldfish,
the sliding closet she opens.
gestures I don't understand,
the blue of the sky.

feathers, voice, and heart,
barred 460 times per minute.
the eyes who trespass,
the echoing night.

From then to now,
I've always fought the distance
from pole to pole
in the blue of the sky.
