three shots of espresso and eight ounces of water with caramel
happy people
mushy couples
the fragile elderly
peter rabbit
mother-daughter bonding
being human with one another
songs that pluck my heart-strings
songs that have me cuttin' rugs, shakin' tail-feathers
silence
semantics and languaging
comfy tee shirts and yoga pants
the skirt i wear around the house, how it jingles when i walk
safety pins that replace buttons
walking around with my laces untied
real real love

you should be able to gather that japanese reads down and left from the top-right.
the thing is, i can't read japanese, though it's an ambition i have (or mandarin, or both - hA!)... the characters mean different things and can be manipulated according to context.
the translation that's worked up between a person i play with online with some stuff i adjusted:
i should not have learnt words.
if only i lived in a world
where there were no words,
where meanings did not mean anything.
when you are impassioned by beautiful words,
it makes no difference to me.
if you bleed for what is not said,
i still will not care.
tears linger in your gentle eyes.
agony falls from your speechless tongue.
if there were no words in our world,
we would just gaze at them and pass them by.
is there a meaning greater than the essence of your crying?
is there the rattle of dusk in a drop of your blood?
i should not have learnt words.
since i have learnt japanese and some foreign phrases,
i will stay in your tears.
i am only alive in your blood.
