Suteki da Ne

Susan Calloway


Wind, and my heart swimming in collected words
Moved by the wind, in through the world
Clouds, like a voice that we all recognize

Carry the holding future

Moon, on the sky as a trembling heart
Shown on the glass unsteadily
Stars, shedding tears in an overflowing stream
I see the night all around me

Suteki da ne
Being together, all alone walking hand in hand
And I want to go to your city
To your home, into your arms

That soul
Inside your body
From those conflicted nights
As from my dreams

Wind died away, and I feel all the words
Led by a gentle illusion
Clouds are the future that cannot be attained
Told from impossible distance

The moon filled with night as it flowed through your heart
Such faraway reflections
Stars, ripe like tears, like fruit falls from a tree
I wipe my dreams off the nighttime

Suteki da ne
Being together, all alone walking hand in hand
And I want to go to your city
To your home, into your arms

To feel your face
The touch of memory
And now that I awake
As from a dream
