Film Star Tanka

alone
I sit through the end credits
trying hard 
to remember the film star
with curly hair like my first love's


German Translation by Chrysanthemum Editorial Team

allein
bleibe ich beim Abspann sitzen
um mich angestrengt
an den Filmstar zu erinnern
mit lockigem Haar wie meine erste Liebe
