I’d rather burn up

from the heat of your friction

than flame out from not

shut my eyes against

the morning sun’s golden rays

yet smile at its warmth

chinook wind snow melt

cold  water runs down the streets

like tears for lost love

my mirror shatters
I cut myself on the shards
when I pick them up

the star falls quickly

it streaks the sky and burns up
like my investments

her hair hides her face

  as she tilts her head away

snow falls steadily

over this frozen landscape
yet I feel your heat

In the empty mountains
The leaves of the bamboo grass
Rustle in the wind.
I think of a girl
Who is not here.

Hitomaro,

your black bra and thong
you dressed with me in your mind
at a safe distance
