You drink from my fine China Traced with a million gold lines Sculpted with Sakura designs Milk, honey and moonshine A youthful spirit very well-refined On your second serving, I lace your cup with chocolate chips You take your drink with several sips Reel me in, grip me by my hips Then kiss me gently on my soft pink lips Now I pour and then I spill On my fresh-linen sleeves Embroidered with Cherry Blossom leaves Azure blue silk at the seams A misty waterfall stream You drop and shatter my tea cup You inhale the gold dust and grow —— A million gold pieces scatter below Like a Hanabi Matsuri fireworks show In disarray… Fallen and fractured like crystalline snow

Kintsugi Kirei
You drink from my fine China Traced with a million gold lines Sculpted with Sakura designs Milk, honey and moonshine A youthful spirit very well-refined On your second serving, I lace your cup with chocolate chips You take your drink with several sips Reel me in, grip me by my hips Then kiss me gently on my soft pink lips Now I pour and then I spill On my fresh-linen sleeves Embroidered with Cherry Blossom leaves Azure blue silk at the seams A misty waterfall stream You drop and shatter my tea cup You inhale the gold dust and grow —— A million gold pieces scatter below Like a Hanabi Matsuri fireworks show In disarray… Fallen and fractured like crystalline snow
