Clelia Ifrim
from Bucharest, Romania
Cherry tree in bloom
like a mouth of a newborn -
hana goromo.
No entry zone, no . . .
can you say to my memories
not to return home?
Yellow butterfly
on a numbered grave —
I love you, unknown child!
Light autumn sky —
ragdoll sinks into the sea
with its eyes open.
Ko, Nagoya, Japan, autumn - winter, 2009
The northern wind sweeps
a village on the seashore —
a handful of salt.
Ko, autumn-intern, 2005
Price of a rice bag —
the light of day turns into
a letter of spring.
