G E I S H A*




: Nitta Sayuri San


hand back slash wounds
graceful arm, as blood red stain
lipstick and early evening damned
just love stains on
farrago kimono
in late autumn
cruel neglect sakura petals
nan cold calling roll on
vibrating tone samisen
also said only the weak origami art
lying on the tatami

"I became the letter": vowels and consonants
seemed willing bride
for divorce in sentence final
without appointments and celebrations
hand was wielding samurai
chop dinner
it opens up the tired feet
cahya miss a thousand years in the sun
inviting ran passed away on
true love
