Newtown morning
twenty black ribbons tied
around a bare tree
what happened, happened...
pit bulls bark
at the sickle moon
gun control debate
Pop! Pop! Pop! breaking
the noises

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
