Done In One Take

Done In One Take

My body terminated in
Japan of an incurable disease, but
Cremated ashes spilled onto
The kitchen floor, and
From traces left between
The fridge and stove,
It grew back like an air plant—
Soil-less, water-less—and
Nurtured by song
And bandmates jamming in a
Tsu recording studio.
Iwasa-san didn’t believe in
Playing from sheet music, or
Re-recording song sections.
Because of him, Kurofune became a 
Jam band, and I learned how to
Move among new surroundings with a
New body.
