Turning Japanese

theme velocity hag pry lift kimono
audible puzzle sardonic corridor moan insolent

her expression- puzzling
his -  sardonic
setting the theme
for the encounter

he insolently lifted
her kimono
in the corridor

the inevitable progressed
with velocity
thrashing about
in the throes of passion
tipping over a potted palm
and a few bamboo screens



her audible moan disturbing
the hag with prying eyes
who lived
behind the paper thin walls
across the way
