Inlet

From the series, Japan Poems.

Stalking fervently inlaid territories

and textures,

ribbed intimacies

scaling soundly an overture

to evolutionary bonds

and leaps—

lizard, fish, man

splashing wildly in pools

jazz forming freely

in the river’s fast-moving mouth—

notes, air, ground

swell of man called Yoshizawa Motoharu

creeping secretly between

intervals of space and time

bass diving heaven

lung deep breaths—

music never dies.
