first sunshine
after slow recovery
from the flu
I take a morning walk
...
lying back
in the steam
of a hot spring
the widow
...
loneliness
runs through my body
like the thread
through Mother's needle -
...
one month dead
"I'm not home right now..."
the message still speaks
to her empty room
...
I live alone
locked in the ghostly past...
the face in the mirror
as foreign to me
...
