Myths flow perennially
In this once-roaring river
Said to have sprung
From the locks of a god
...
When a river
Born in myth
Disappears with time
It turns again into a myth
...
The one who slept
Was not the one
Who woke up
With a dream
...
What pleasure is there
In watching fish
Put to work like this
In this diner;
...
Riding shotgun in the share auto
At an odd afternoon hour
I soon become the driver's confidant
After the few passengers
...
Nothing has changed
The night train
Runs on the same track
Of bad memories
...
The trees cannot flee
Like the birds
When the monster
With the misnomer rose
...
It's only when you have to leave
That you most want to stay
Stay back to grieve
Over that which never can stay - -
...
With this song
I keep playing
I often think
I can stop time
...
It's so hot the trees
Are still sweating leaves
Showing up the sun
For what it is
...
