i saw a black cat running from something,
it was late, past twenty three and
look, a trail of blood...

following it through blossoming forests,
suddenly there comes a petal
riding in the wind...

distracted and deterred,
i found some bits of fur
leading straight back the way i came.

at that point i preferred
to face whatever spurred
that cat to run so quickly away...


~CHIRUSd~

take heart! go through bush,
go through lovely flowers stained.

run far! search the shrine,
search the creek for someone slain.

depart! if a soul
saw, they must think you're insane.
cuz i never find anything after all...


take heart! go through bush,
go through lovely flowers stained.

run far! search the shrine,
search the creek for someone slain.

depart! if a soul
saw, they must think you're insane,
as i repeat these manic words to myself.

~e~


i heard a blue jay warble a strange call,
just the other day i thought it
froze to death alone...

searching for remnants took me to last fall,
when i saw the cat devouring
what remains unseen...

but what can i expect
when time is never set,
winding around until i wane.

as weekends zipped on by,
i never even tried
to notice how warm it became...!?

~then chorus agin.
