Contemprary Tanka Poet Mariko Kitakubo. Article details.
Colorado Boulevard posted the final Tan-Ku by Ms. Deborah P Kolodji and me
On July 24 (U.S. time), Colorado Boulevard, an online poetry magazine, published the final two pieces of Tan-Ku by Ms. Deborah P Kolodji and me.
My deepest gratitude to Mr. Wafic Khalil and Ms. Kathabela Wilson, who decided to post it in their journal three days after Ms. Kolodji passed away. Thank you very much.
Fireworks
longing
is always lonely sky…
under
the jacaranda
fireworks finale (M)
far away and yet…
the meteor shower
lights up the sky (D)
Tanabata
palm leaf sounds…
turquoise manicure
in midsummer
resting on the shore
bringing us closer (M)
your thumb as you hang
the tanzaku
our matching wishes (D)
