YUKI's PV for her new single: ビスケット (Biscuit)



いつだって 逢いたくて 涙の海でおぼれた
抜けだして 逢いに来て 月を味方につけて
強がって 絡まって 困らせてる ごめんね
目の前で 勇気出して あなたの額に触れた
ゆらゆらと影を わざと踏んで歩いた 坂道を
身体よりもっと 近づいてよ
ポケットに忍ばせた 甘いビスケット
あなたに半分だけあげるよ
始めたばかりの つらいダイエット
ううん その他うやむやのせいにして
私があなたを好きな理由
100個ぐらい 正座して ちゃんと言えるから
ぶかぶかで青い 背の高い あなたのセーターを掴んだ
想いは強い! 鼓動よ届け!!
ありふれた毎日を あなたが束ねてくれた
取り出したメモリーは いつでも鮮やかな色
ほどいてる髪を そっと結ってくれる 大きな手で
リボンごと ぎゅうーっと 抱きしめてよ
ポケットに忍ばせた 甘いビスケット
あなたと半分ずつ 食べよう
新しい日を 暗い夜を
ううん ありとあらゆる 想像のすべてを
ねえ このままずっと一緒に いられるといいなあ
2人手を繋ぎ 歩いていけたら
交わした約束 危うくて 未来は誰も解らないなら
火照った指で 探りあてて 体に印を 刻もうよ
私があなたを好きな理由
100個以上 正座して もっと言えるから
初めてみたいに 背の高い あなたの右腕を掴んだ
想いは強い! 鼓動よ続け!!

Massachusetts Avenue

Mass Ave. circa 2003
old picture from when i lived on mass ave.

This past weekend I went to Boston. Most of the weekend was spent on a couch watching movies with my usual rag tag crew. On the last day we (my man and I) split up to see old friends we hadn't in a while and planned to meet up at the bus station four hours later. My friend had to tend to some things so our session in Harvard square ended early, however it was great to see him again since we hadn't had a good restaurant bitch session in nearly eight months.

St. Boltoph and my honey love
going down st. boltoph today!

So I skipped over to the #1 MBTA bus just as I had a hundred times before years earlier when I resided in the South End on the Roxbury line. I road my old bus route down Massachusetts Ave., over the Charles which glimmered spectacularly in the sunset and made me ache a little for a life I had five years ago. I got off the bus into the night where I always used to: in front of the orange line T stop and looked across the street to where my ol' stoop was. It was lonely looking. I lingered around my old block for an hour or so, following the ghosts of my past through old ally ways and dusty tobacco shops, up through corridor park and into the depths of Boston. The Prudential sparkled down on me as I strolled through the park, watching the wealthy walk their fine bred dogs and peeking up into their posh apartments wondering what it would be like to live there.

I wound up at Copley and tourists asked me directions I could answer. I headed own Boylston and regarded all the stores and reminisced all those late nights I walked this street back home from the movies or a convention. The dead of the streets and the liveliness of our laughter clashing in my memory. I slipped through the stink of Chinatown, leaving the wealthy with their shops and now dodging dealers and poor Asian grandmothers to the bus station where my boyfriend was waiting for me upon a marble bench.

It was the kind of walk I've been hungering for. Being immersed in the anonymity of the city, possessing the old souled resident's knowledge of the area, floating down rivery sidewalks and sucking in the energy that glowed up into the sky. It was like walking into the fountain of youth and coming out full and supple again.

It also convinced me that I should not move back to the city. I should find a new city to get re-acquainted with and that's what I will do.

一つだけ

sounds like: "一つだけ" JUDY AND MARY



Only One JUDY AND MARY

The fragment of a memory I saw in an operaglass is desperately, infantilely cute
I change the form of my bittersweet memories so you're always sweet to me
I'll make sure with the palm of my hand: hold onto my premonition and blow a kiss into the wind
Summer begins with a sunset, sunflowers blossom into my skirt
Hit by the rain, fireworks stain the sky in a dazzling collection of light
Please don't say goodbye, I only have one wish
I'm waiting for the summer
And if I were to bloom, light me up with your touch
And if I were to cry, make the sky blue with your song
Even now, in the sky there is only one
At any time it's all so dear to me
Flickering, flickering
The blues and the moon bring out the stars twinkling inside me
I'll never empty out and let my love wither, we made a pinky promise
I'm unsteady, don't part from me
Make sure of me, and that on the other side of the wind
Summer is waiting
And if I were to bloom, light me up with your touch
And if I were to cry, raise the sky with your song
Even now, in the sky there is only one
At any time it's all so kind
Even now, I can see there is only one
Flickering, flickering, flick

It's been a few months since I've written again. I used to be obsessive with blogging when I was younger, now I nary remember to do it. Never-the-less, my absence is relative to the onslaught of breakdowns amoung our necessities leaving me feeling like this:

zombie eats your heart

However things seem to be getting back together, but it's not easy. Not in this day and this country.

This sort of idea makes me curious-- would I have been better off at this age fifty years ago? Who knows. I like to imagine what my life would be like and how different I would be, but I wonder if the lack of technology and the simplicity of things would make life seem fuller as you rely on your own self to entertain you and grow.

It's nice to be nostalgic for a time you never new.
