雀の涙
The waves give, the waves take away
The ocean swells, the ocean recedes
Kuro rests within their arms
The greens, the blues, and the deeper blacks
floating at the edge of the world.
The waves once brought her a tortoise
A babe with rubber skin and ageless eyes
She held it in her arms, a gift of Susanowo
But her father made her give him back
to the cold of his coral home.
A man once came upon the waves
To slay the devil's spawn
A Gilgamesh with feet of clay
Giving her love he had to give
taking away her empty arms.
The waves came, and the waves left
But the man remained, his mind adrift
Nothing but a shell of himself
A shell that could empty an ocean
or fill young Kissy's heart.
He took and he gave as he came and he went
Treasonous word on a scrap left to die
She smiled throughout to keep his heart light
Leaving a hole within her chest
and a womb filled with words unsaid.
