Contemprary Tanka Poet Mariko Kitakubo. Eucalypt.
My Tanka published in Eucalypt.
the days
of the end of my life
will come --
a cat is yawning
in the ruined village g
a herd
of majesty
is coming...
in the heat haze
elephants and their young
I planted
a tender sapling
in another land...
this Christmas Bush will flourish
long after I am gone
