if we were not in a city
the stars would claim their dominion;
for now they hold counsel over the waves

i long to feel the sand beneath my toes again,
while around me drifts
the small talk that always happens
between band members

mizuno cries out to me,
reaches -
then falls back from the shore,
and sad am i that i cannot accommodate him

and i have just discovered that
the most calming thing will always be

white sand, sparkling waves,
stars set against the night sky;
night air on bare skin
