I am pleased to share that Rattle, a well-known American poetry magazine, has published in the Collaboration section in its latest volume (83) a new Tan-Ku titled "Hubris," co-authored by Ms. Deborah P. Kolodji and myself.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the editor, Mr. Tim Green.

Thank you very much.

 

Hubris

through
the distorted
glass
he smiles to me
from the white limousine (M)

blue green shimmers
a peacock struts
his stuff (D)

[ AFTER FUKUSHIMA ]

 

1

when
will my later years
start?---
a mother cat has babies
at the ruined village

 

2

dim light
of cherry blossoms--
unstoppable
petal storm in the ruins
beyond my five senses

 

3

sounds
of the stream
in my homeland---
Strontium is soaking
into the placenta

 

4

cherry avenue
my late mother's favorite...
is there
another world?
petal drift

 

5

there were
days when I had
my dream...
are you there now?
Betelgeuse
