our laughter flows
from one street block
to another ...
mother's garden hose
spouting a rainbow
German Translation by Tony Böhle
unser Gelächter
von einem Straßenzug
zum anderen
Mutters Gartenschlauch
speit einen Regenbogen

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
