Busy World (The)
Hoshi Nashi
There are no stars in Tokyo tonightFrom this balcony I see only cityand it stretches for milesTowers devour a Van Gogh skyThe city sleeps alone tonightMother sleeps alone in the kitchenFather sleeps in the bedHana rests over our headsThere are no stars in the back yard tonightI've forgotten exactly how I felt the day you diedFive hundred people came to say goodbyewith hearts of flowers and graduation slidesSufjan played on the way homemy brother was in MexicoWhen did Laney quit the swim team?I had meant to write you lettersI had meant to make it betterI had wanted to express regretthrough alphabets--they're betterthan these words that I transcribedfrom these visions I see every nightof angels dressed in black and whiteSongtextetaking Hana, taking flightSpring bloomsThe physician who heals all woundswill turn the weeds that fill this empty roominto flowers in bloom
