Japanese Woman (Masks) Poem by Birutė Mar
Japanese Woman (Masks)
I will wait
until my tears are poised to fall
lined -up like drops on a tree
I will wait for you
under the snow white moon
geese will fly away
they have survived on night's linen
A few old women will leave for
the mountains to die- - - - - -
and I will leave
but I will return
a hundred year old pine on your path
the dark spirit of the woman you loved…
