Tokyoto

oh, my home
is a frozen lake
shadows skate past
figures, i say
i laughed out
at the lines they made
while overhead
they flicker and dissipate

saying, i was born a spark
and i burned
burned, myself a watermark
i left, myself a trail
to find my way
when i fell, a stray

and i walked a whale
didn't rest, for many a day old
to sing, to say, oh
i will be again
i have already been

oh, i know i am going home
but i don't know when
i don't know when

the foolish crack
but i will be here again
to ruin and spit in
