for Mayan Doomsday non/believers
Doomsday Eve
I start counting last
autumn stars
snowy morning,
December 21...
reciting Basho
the day after...
a roof icicle holding
the morning sun

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
