A Murmur On My Pillow Poem by Tatsuji Miyoshi

A Murmur On My Pillow

Rating: 4.5


in the middle of the night before a collection of my poetry comes out
solely due to my limited talent
may my verse
be an inception

my house
can be flimsy

lost in each and every day
of my journey, incidental

verses of mine -
may they survive for just three days

they can be just a memento
of yesterday, today, and tomorrow


Translation: 2010, Takako Lento
