mount fuji

 

 

 

 

he misses japan

truly extraordinary nippon

as if an edenic wanderlust that

turns him on

 

 

surely every country

have cultural aspects

and social values

and traditional views

 

 

and despite all

that has been said

of cultural variances

don't you ever wonder

why they remain

harmonious—

calling it love (yet involving cultural variances)

skyscrapers, tall buildings, city buildings, commercial buildings, etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

calling it love (yet involving cultural variances)

 

 

 

 

it's as if they know—

 
how to lift their wings
to fly

 

 

only to be able to reach
that glorious blue sky

 

 

 

it's when city dreamers
really, really
could dream high

 

yet trying to go on their
own particular ways—
not even finding relief, sigh!
 
 
would you still hold me
until the golden dawn?

tell me what year are we now, again?
we're here, olden.. but then
 
somehow  
 
 
we still have  
fallen apart, as you joked
again..and..again

 
—that you bleed—
(unrequited love?)

 
that's how we
pass the blame to reality
 
 
but really, it could just be
an untranslatable word

for perfect love

 

unconsciously—

 
misunderstanding

mere affinity—

 

 

 

 

 

 

 skyscrapers, high rise buildings, city buildings, built environment, etc.

all are just these props


our heartbeats untranslated


iconoclasm
