Fuji

You slide down Fuji
In your sneakers,
Until your heals are burned
Volcanic dust
Carrying you like the sea
Life or death, it’s the same
To me, sliding down the mountain

Spheres

Translucent serum
In my head,
Future dead, dreaming
Of herself, purling stitches
Crimson color
Blasting stones
To dusty rhythms
Peaceful harmonies
Melodies of mere
Music of the spheres

Soft

Skin grasps like plastic
For stones and trees
And people whom it frees
With its free spirit
I am a free spirit,
A rolling sea
Tumbling stones in me
Making them soft

Sea

News across the world
The sea, always the sea
That thing of metaphors
Rolling high themselves
Like the sea on a gust day
