Matsuo Bashō
When the winter chrysanthemums go,
there's nothing to write about
    but radishes.

Wrapping the rice cakes,
with one hand
    she fingers back her hair.

A bee
staggers out

to my velvet black.
Grey is slack.
And I’m not that.

Don’t add white
to my fiery red.
Pink is girlie-
‘Nough said!

Don’t add white
to my dark navy.
Don’t do light.
I’m not chicken gravy!

I never liked Romeo and Juliet
But I’m okay with crashing-
just let me crash and burn in your arms
Let’s try to touch the sun
before we know what’s good for us
Let the wax melt and hold me close
Let the feathers and tears fall  
Because at least we can say-
We flew
Let’s reach the sun tonight
