Playful Stars Poem by Doug Stewart

Playful Stars



A Tanka for Tada Chimako

In spring, Japan amidst cherry blossoms.
Ancient misanthropic divines, who dance, abandoning
the rites of their authority, promise
endless summer to any disciple who will drop a coin,
or pour a drop of sake, or sing one Chimako lyric.
