‘Woman seated under a cherry blossom tree’ – by Kuniyoshi Utagawa (1797-1861)
The Japanese beauty of Edo
she sat delicate in the garden;
she observed the cherry blossoms:
the beauty
the stillness
the quiet and
the blossoms faded almost days after
and the beauty –
O she too followed the way
of the blossoms;
and here I am ages after
and I long for the beauty
impossible to touch
and who sat in the garden
