Contemprary Tanka Poet Mariko Kitakubo. Article details.
Heliosparrow Poetry Journal posted Tan-Ku created by Ms. Kathabela Wilson and me
Dear Mr. Richard Gilbert, Thank you so much for publishing our Tan-Ku tribute to Deborah P Kolodj by Kathabela and me in your online Journal, Heliosparrow.
The time I used to make Tan-Ku while communicating with Debbie every day via messenger feels far away, and my sadness has never subsided. The years (almost 17 years) I spent with her are the treasures of my life.
Melody
creaking
of the bridge,
stream sounds ...
miss you so
in the reflections (M)
a flute plays
in the same garde
your voice (K)
Mariko Kitakubo, Kathabela Wilson (Tan-Ku)
