Poem Category: Kimono

Zen garden
wrapped in autumn
her gold silk kimono.

Red silk kimono
she crosses the room
with whispers.

Red silk kimono
the scent of jasmine
in her jet-black hair.

Open silk kimono
next to her skin
the breeze that moves it.

A sultry night
the house key hangs
where her kimono would.

Red silk kimono
laying by the river
beside her.

Red silk kimono,
she steps slowly over
the puddles shimmer.

Red silk kimono
she and shadows
stretching at dawn.

Red silk kimono
still shimmering light
in her mirror.

Red silk kimono
every Sunday
grandmother’s luncheon.
