Lotus Blossom

       
day's ending green        
my reisho recalls her heart        
a single candle's light        
       
opened by my brush        
eight petals in night winds        
a lotus flower        
       
In my bed        
Akimitzu washes the air        
with tastes of stars' breath  
 
       
Author's Note: in Japanese,  "reisho" is the name for clerical calligraphy script.  Akimitzu is a given name meaning "spirit light."
