sakura
you migrated
into my world
one look at you
i learn the art of living
and leaving
late blossom
a hint of colour
in the widow’s clothes
cherry blossoms
scattered in the wind –
distant thunder
plum blossoms
she braids pink ribbons
into her hair
Plum blossoms
Is it worth of thinking?
Hey! // Stop!
annual performance
of perfection
take a bough
the transience
of spring blossom…
no time to waste
barely Spring
I’m thinking about
the transiency
touching down
on the field
pink petals
