recharging
my inner kaleidoscopic
the northern nights

Genie Nakano
our everyday walk
around the neighborhood block
turns into a skip

parrots flying high
sunshine streaming down
it’s the time
for you and I
to grow younger everyday
ΟOO

how to anchor tech
to foundations of the earth
our terra firma
no longer adrift at sea
tossed by tempests and waves
