Peek up here
in between the cherry blossoms
Do you see me?
Take a look out the window
of the SUV
In the pillowed dawn-vapor,
My glistening gold wisps
high on the sunset wind
There in the gemstone gift waters
Yoo-hoo, I’m there too

Smile a while
you’re going to be here a bit
Relax, take off your muddy shoes
Go for a midnight swim
and see if you fit in

I made it so you thought you wouldn’t
But I swear I made you
to do great things

Look at that! You made my light
Put it into a glass glowing pear
And hung it up in the garden
I knew I couldn’t keep you in

And now you make
metal teeth
And metal rocks
and distance me
My seeds of life fall
cherry blossoms
An **** of dying
at the end of spring

But I love the building
Blocks you made
And all the honors that you sing
To claim me as your own
As you cut down the roots
Of my older age

Peek-a-boo! I see you
Smile a thousand miles wide
I will kiss your baby cheeks with UV
Radiation in the perfect count
And you will warm with glee

Hey! Now I'll show you our history
Old sedimentary bones
Crack your minds
With a thousand worlds
I let go
Because I truly wanted you.
Where will you go?
I cannot say
The man I live in
only knows today
Tomorrow is yet
for me to know
the future holds
innumerable fates

Hello you!
A thousand babel towers
Taller than anything I could make
Just kidding; I built it all
Too much for you
To take
Keep trying, though
That’s the point
I want you to want to be me
Well, I want you to want me,
For me,
It’s best for me and you
