a black moth
flutters around the desk lamp
trying to find
a way through the Tiffany shade . . .
I yearn for the flames of love

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
