moonlit night
in the bamboo forest
child god
transforms into a badger
to summon his mother

Issue 11, 2011

after the bitterness
against my late father
a longing
comes to me--
sorrowful pendulum

over the battlefield
the moon is waning
little by little
I decay and
I lose myself too

I watch
a drop of poison
turn transparent
look to the half moon,
where my mother now lives

suddenly
the shadow of moth
growing larger--
after an embrace
difficult to resist
