Hinotama
The ball of light that bounced above the concentration camp
held in its patience
the memory of the unusual flower
the Japanese man was reaching for
when he was shot
was born to breathe, to breathe to give life
to breathe to give life to
friendship
blood root apparition
The Japanese man had sensitivity
and must have thought in that desolation
that he had been struck by a heart
in the air before him, around him
a light, tonic mist the feeling of wind
watching over him
Spring
