cherry blossoms dance
in her kimono
Maple leaves on the blue
her red silk kimono
through the French doors also
cherry blossoms sweep.
Wet Sunday …
parts of the newspaper
in every room.
she leaves the room
an after-image
her red silk kimono
Apricot sky
the wind wraps and unwraps
her silk kimono.
Red silk kimonos
the child and her part
at the school gate.
Red silk kimono
she and shadows
stretching at dawn.
Autumn hike
through the apple blossoms
her green kimono.
Just the sound of tea
brewing in the room …
her red silk kimono.
A sultry night
the house key hangs
where her kimono would.
