The "tall ship sailor" and tanka poet M.Kei has such an amazing wealth of work, that I find myself at a loss about which one to choose for today's post. Yet choose I must and this is my selection.
the slattern houses sag
on a mean street in a small town,
floral sheets for curtains
cinder blocks for steps
and the fetid smell of despair
M.Kei
And because I wasn't able to resist...this one,too.
things that come
with the fog:
horseshoe crabs,
tall ships
and wandering hearts
M.Kei
