Poem Category: Kimono

Train window–
suddenly so close
a red silk kimono.

Red silk kimono
decoding her moves
he smiles.

Her red silk kimono
sneaking under
the child’s embrace.

Red silk kimono
the window rain
distorts her passing.

Blushed green
among the patio ferns
her white silk kimono.

Red silk kimono
each sleeve holding
a grandchild’s gift.

Kimono geisha
netting a butterfly
then freeing her.

Sudden rain
under the red swings
a child’s blue kimono.

Her blood drop caught
by pruning
white silk kimono.

White silk kimono
her sunlit hair
more rainbow than black.
