Poem Category: Kimono

Japanese tea-house
her kimono
autumn leaves on black

old girl
in her best kimono
back and forth at home

Japanese girl
tightening a kimono
with gold leaves falling

her black kimono–
winds shimmer
its autumn leaves

Green kimono drying
how the wind clatters
among the bamboo.

Just the sound of tea
brewing in the room …
her red silk kimono.

By the cherry wood fire
scented
her red silk kimono.

Red silk kimonos
the child and her part
at the school gate.

The rose-garden fog
fades
her red silk kimono.
