English Original:
my days
aren’t graphed in ideograms
but lined up
like the English alphabet –
Chinese in the promised land
Japanese Translation by Hidenori Hiruta
我が日々は表意文字では示されぬ英文字のごと中国語なら

A Room of My Own: Stick Figures Tanka
-
*This Brave New World*, CXX
spots of dried blood
in a soldier's diary:
a stick-figures sketch
shows recruits as "bait"
to shoot down a sniper drone
