Short Songs
// Pat McClelland
ruby wake of a surgeon’s knife
squandered brain blood
turns snowy gauze vermillion
* * *
red silk pouches swing
below ivory netsukes
art of the small on view
on men of Edo
in kimonos without pockets
ruby wake of a surgeon’s knife
squandered brain blood
turns snowy gauze vermillion
* * *
red silk pouches swing
below ivory netsukes
art of the small on view
on men of Edo
in kimonos without pockets
