Resignation Day (Tokyo)
still rain this morning
damp inside an inbound train
through the condensation
a woman in a white apron
moves a red geranium
out to the veranda for a soak
-Molly Vallor
Note: I posted this because wanted to introduce to you a woman named Molly Vallor who is writing some exceptional poetry reminiscent of the imagist poet H.D. yet more directly influenced, I believe, by classical Japanese poets. Molly is a PhD Candidate in Buddhist Studies at Stanford University.
Dive into dozens of equally arresting poems at her blog: Chirping at Dusk.
