The Winds Of Tokyo Poem by Scott Shaw

The Winds Of Tokyo



the wind is blowing
Tokyo's winter confronts me

confounds me
pounds on me
through my long coat
through my drunkenness
through my loneliness

it is only a fool's cry
from eternity
to maturity
a subject that I never truly understood

give me this dream
I have desired it
give me this desire
I have dreamed of it

drunken poetics
and the enclosing winter night of Tokyo
