"Kireji or cutting words"—there's drama here. A shift, a turn, a signal.
A surprise maybe?
blooms newly open
retreat until tomorrow—
they insist on it
Hold on—What's this? Watch out! Or maybe: Something is omitted here…

kireji at work
A new direction, possibly enchanting. Because the world's in flux. Restless.
On the move.
pearl necklace of stars
falling into infinity…
nothing lasts but change

into my room at the Carlson I stepped out— (NEWSWEEK)
On the balcony
I saw myself looking up
at a stranger: me
