song
of early summer--
my motherland
will be a coffin
of the wind
Tanka Cafe: Theme: Solitude and Loneliness
as farewell
the first snowfall--
may be
my dead parents watch me
from the top of the mountain
Selected Tanka
the wind
off the Colorado River
unties my hair--
I'd like to die
a tourist
Selected Tanka
between the dates
of Hiroshima & Nagasaki
my sweat seeps
into the small puncture hole
where they drew my blood
oh yes,
they are still crying--
Parl Harbour
inside of Linda
Okinawa inside of me
