Japanese Variations


caw, caw
early in the morning

is Tokyo waking up?



by the grace of moon

emergency exit.

white bodies
brown nipples

young people lather up

twisting and turning
sweat, sweat

ah! Japanese bath houses!


    *


lost
by the difference

lost
to the difference

white, bleached-white

beyond, difference

beyond beyond, differance

similarity

universal?
