Mandala
D.Horse
Anne
Tina
mandala
from Marriott
to a ruined palace
ah autumn blast
(Mandala)
it was an interlude
of the prolonged sandstorms
(D.Horse)
circles, squares, oblongs
flag-maker's working in
the moonlit atelier
(Anne )
all the full dress ships
exchange gun salutes
(mandala)
press corps raided
a sleepy fishing village,
a white whale washed ashore
(d.horse)
run, little mermaid, run
on your brand new feet
(anne)
ウ
dear passengers
we’ve crossed the date line
April 1 now
(mandala)
mandala
I've waited for hours in vain
such a fool I took her words
(d.horse)
in a misty hue
love romance started
mobiles being turned off
(anne)
only I know that he is
one of the justices of the SC
(tina)
to err is human,
to forgive may not be
his wife's policy
(d.horse)
come rain or come shine
single-legged scarecrow
(mandala)
harvest moon
almost falling down
to the old pond
(tina)
up! up! to the highest
the spire of the rock
(anne)
hey kids
get aroused now with
the Rolling Stones
(mandala)
I don't recall what I ate
'twas only yesterday
(d.horse)
mandala
suddenly the game is over
only the floral scent
left behind
(anne)
on a thrown die
a butterfly sits
(tina)
二オ
walking in the spring breeze
along the River Sumida,
Vivaldi from a cardboard house
(d.horse)
the trio plays a piece or two
at Four Seasons’s bar
(mandala)
eleven or twelve ?
the big wall clock
now strikes
(tina)
with full make up
wiped off
(anne)
Jakarta Art Museum
nasty mirror !
wrinkle wrinkle
disasater
(mandala)
someday, I believe,
my prince will come
(d.horse)
a limousine
dragging tins and cans
marriage of convenience
(anne)
mandala
they both have
very good resons for it
(tina)
don't ask me
why I dropped out of
Harvard
(d.horse)
the mantra called me
from another shore
(mandala)
and in me
the Japanese
came out strong
(tina)
fresh tea caddy opened
farewell party started
(anne)
ナウ
December moon
lights up the marquee
of Bedouins
(mandala)
camel bells from far away
linger in the silence
(d.horse)
boys,
never forget
what your mother taught you
(tina)
lullaby goes on like this:
pain! pain! fly away!
(anne)
flower to flower
a butterfly flits around
for life or for love
(d.horse)
may peace prevail on the earth
glorious spring in the air
(mandala)
