Buried Secrets

(Choka)

by: Iolanda Scripca

Where the seagull dies...
Stringless origami cries
Loneliness of Soul

Koi fish suffocate
Colors fade in Bonsai trees
Island in distress

Words not understood
Shadows grin tricks on rice walls
Tsunamis in eyes

Geisha of the world
Love is lost in illusions
Freedom is her dream

Men with cold fingers
Whither blossom of her spring...
Harakiri end...

In the seagull's grave
Origami secrets kept
Chicks learn how to fly...
