resting
in the shadow
of the baobab
one tiny species ...
echo of one thousand years

Eucalypt, an Australian tanka journal, published in its Issue 33, 2022 my tanka poem about my trip to a Northern European country for reading performance.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to Ms. Julie Anne Thorndyke, the editor of Eucalypt.

long flight
to Stockholm
july 2022
avoidance
of Russian airspace

let's pray
for everyone...
the border
is invisible
to the universe

opened wide
empty suitcase...
a butterfly
before leaving
on my vogage

Thank you so much, Dearest Julie Anne Thorndyke.
Please enjoy my tanka, if you like.

 

constellation
finding
sacred light
in the eyes
of perished species

 

Thank you so much for picking up my new work, the editor of Eucalypt, Julie Anne Thorndyke!

 

pure indigo
settles into my heart,
when I cross borders...
I would like to die
a wanderer of this earth
