Signal Poem by Tatsuji Miyoshi

Signal

Rating: 4.0


A water wheel by the mill. A lone camellia tree in the shade of a thicket.
A butterfly flutters down to a newly made rut, moving in different directions,
to the quiet rhythms of its wings - it arrests me
"Here we are, dear, the railroad crossing . . ." I pause

Translation: 2010, Takako Lento
