braiding stars
into her lover’s chonmage

Spring rain –
white blossoms
falling on white blossoms
upon her bare breasts

green leaves
a whisper-soft kiss
to the corner of her lips

on the courtesan’s nude back
cherry petals

cherry petals
along the courtesan’s nude spine
playing tag

pink blossoms
painting her naked toes
pink
