Done for Carpe Diem. A Choka. Japanese Long Poem
Nude Dance
5-7 5-7 5-7 5-7-7
spellbinding moment
the splinter of the full moon
in a silent stream
crave for a velvet night dip
hugging nudity
echoes of birdsong render
shivers and circles
as one we dance on ripples
sated souls, till smile of dawn
(envoy or hanka)
the night’s sweet madness
gives way to morning’s splinter
we are not witches
but lovers with hangover
from dancing nude for the moon
