[kayama]
rain
glistening
on the silver birch
like my lady’s tears
your turn

[manjiro]
rain
gathering
winding into streams
like the roads to boston
your turn

[kayama]
haze
hovering
like the whisper of the silk
as my lady kneels
your turn

manjiro
haze
glittering
like an echo of the lamps
in the streets of boston
your turn

[kayama]
moon
i love her like the moon
making jewels of the gr-ss
where my lady walks
my lady wife

[manjiro]
moon
i love her like the moon
washing yesterday away
as my lady does
america
your turn

[kayama]
wind
murmuring
is she murmuring for me
through her field of dreams?
your turn

[manjiro]
wind
muttering
is she quarreling with me?
does she want me home?
your turn

[kayama]
i am no nightingale
but she hears the song
i can sing to her
my lady wife

[manjiro]
i am no nightingale
but my song of her
could outsing the sea
america

[kayama]
dawn
flickering
tracing shadows of the pines
on my lady sleeping
your turn

[manjiro]
dawn
brightening
as she opens up her eyes
but it’s i who come awake
your turn

[kayama]
you go

[manjiro]
your turn

[kayama & manjiro]
leaves
i love her like the leaves
changing green to pink to gold
and the change is everything

sun
i see her like the sun
in the center of a pool
sending ripples to the sh-r-
till my journey’s end

[manjiro]
your turn

[kayama]
rain

[manjiro]
haze

[kayama]
moon

[manjiro]
wind

[kayama]
nightingale

[manjiro]
dawn

[kayama]
leaves

[manjiro]
sun

[kayama & manjiro]
end
