mother waits
for me across the ocean
I dream
of her under the same moon
but age with this distance

One Man's Maple Moon: Beast and Cherry Blossoms Tanka by Fumi Saito
-
*English Original*
long dead
the bones of a beast
decaying tonight
I am nearly choked
as cherry blossoms are falling
*White Letter Poems*, 1998
