a waning moon
at the nursing home
she shows me
the red shoe box stuffed
with cards from her son

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
