after love
our bodies resume
their boundaries ...
the sound of dripping water
becomes louder and louder
German Translation by Tony Böhle
nach der Liebe
ziehen sich unsre Körper in
ihre Grenzen zurück …
der Klang tröpfelnden Wassers
wird lauter und lauter

A Room of My Own: Predawn Hush Tanka
-
predawn hush ...
at the back of my mind
her words linger,
*I love you, but cannot livewith the ghosts of your past*
*Added*:
alone
I take a sleeping pill...
