Marie Bortolotto 2018

when you opened

my letter

were you surprised

my heart

fell out?




the recluse
opens
the door
only for
the cat.

-Michael Windsor McClintock, American Poet 1950 -


how invisibly
it changes colour
in this world,
the flower
of the human heart

-Ono no Komachi, Japanese poet 825 - 900 AD
