The Dream of Shoji Poem by Kimiko Hahn

The Dream of Shoji

Rating: ★4.0


How to say milk? How to say sand, snow, sow,

linen, cloud, cocoon, or albino?
How to say page or canvas or rice balls?

Trying to recall Japanese, I blank out:

it's clear I know forgetting. Mother, tell me
what to call that paper screen that slides the interior in?
