I bury my face
in the curve
of her breasts
the lingering scent
after spring rain
German Translation by Chrysanthemum Editorial Team
ich vergrabe mein Gesicht
in der Beuge
ihrer Brüste
der anhaltende Duft
nach dem Frühlingsregen

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
