【EN】Gogyoka “Borderline Bird”

By Senon Wakamiya【EN】

If you stay sane, you’ll never achieve anything great.
Without some playfulness, you’ll break down.

Gogyoka  131

If it does not sing,
embraced by the night,
hototogisu,
forever in secret,
love me more

Gogyoka  132

If it does not sing,
my brother and I,
hototogisu,
my father’s keepsake,
a cradle of dreams

Gogyoka  133

If it does not sing,
we exchange a kiss,
hototogisu,
in the end it is breaking through,
that feeling

Gogyoka  134

If it does not sing,
remain a girl,
hototogisu,
stay girl,
stay pure

Gogyoka  135

If it does not sing,
take me and run away,
hototogisu,
defying my parents,
at Yagiri Crossing

Gogyoka  136

If it does not sing,
Asian papillon,
hototogisu,
drinking clear water,
ni hao

Gogyoka  137

If it does not sing,
summer-colored Nancy,
hototogisu,
different from last year,
with different lips

Gogyoka  138

If it does not sing,
ride on time,
hototogisu,
what a morning,
set my heart on fire

Gogyoka  139

If it does not sing,
in the mirror,
hototogisu,
not knowing what to do with
this frustration

Gogyoka  140

If it does not sing,
and yet love remains,
hototogisu,
a woman always
weary of waiting

All of my Gogyoka , including those written so far, are freely quotable.

If any of them speak to you, I would be truly happy if you quote and share them.

And if one resonates with you deeply, please feel free to leave a comment.
