Year of the Rabbit (Junicho)

.yearyear of the rabbit of the rabbit

year of the rabbit

year of the rabbit –
a fir branch sways
its snowy tail
(v)

vanilla permeates
the icy night
(b)

strange shadows
gird the pond
fly home! fly home!
(j)

moving towards me
your closed eyes
(g)

one woman’s kiss
and two subway changes
his lips still parted
(j)

in the moonlight the grapes
for a vintage year
(c)

shouting directions
the wind
batters an old sign
(a)

the streets of Pompeii
forever empty
(v)

lightning
sky to sea
and back again
(g)

inconsiderate rhythms –
the roof-tiler at dawn
(a)

outside her workshop
peach fragrance fires
up hayfever
(b)

harlequin beetles
brighten the carnival
(c)
