『Angel Talk』
Mariko Kitakubo
Grandma,
will you disappear, he asks,
someday?
yes, but let me stay with you
little bit more, I answer
he is 5
his pure and simple
question ...
as if a petal is dancing
and dancing
I think about
the silhouette
of death -
yes, we should go
without knowing when
I will
miss you
after my death
looking on this world
from afar
grandson
don't hurry please,
be in the shining mist
there are still wings
on your back
