Poem Category: Kimono

Red silk kimono
the window rain
distorts her passing.

Her red silk kimono
sneaking under
the child’s embrace.

Red silk kimono
decoding her moves
he smiles.

Train window–
suddenly so close
a red silk kimono.

Red silk kimono
every Sunday
grandmother’s luncheon.

Red silk kimono
still shimmering light
in her mirror.

Red silk kimono
she and shadows
stretching at dawn.

Red silk kimono,
she steps slowly over
the puddles shimmer.

Red silk kimono
laying by the river
beside her.

A sultry night
the house key hangs
where her kimono would.
