Yebisu
To Yoshihide Tsuge
talking about the rock
bands we love
having their
roots
in the blues
waiting for his wife
to change their daughter's pampers
we look
down
at the city nightscape
ten years ago, i say
all those lights
were exciting
now
they scare me
he says: go back
to the dreams
you had as a kid
they'll show you the way...
then his wife comes back
with their daughter, i lift her
high
up
with a:
Yay!
her tiny face smiles down at me
Notes:
Yebisu: a district of Tokyo.
Yoshihide Tsuge: Japanese singer-songwriter.
