Two Women

She has red lips and dimples round rabbit eyes brushing hair waving over a broad forehead is coming her slender legs are long The ends of skirt sway over lap Her waist is an ant's Her breasts are making the softest curves Her neck is neither long nor short, neither thick nor thin Her face is as round as an egg Her nose is neither arrogant nor servile she come closer to me moment passing by me But my eyes still following her i fall over I stand up without shame and raising head Then a woman standd in front of me sat down clouds from the blue sky her head and saggy shoulders Broken and worn jacket blowing in the wind and hold in her right hand She leans on an old cane She takes a step that is difficult to take even one step catches a breath for a while she talks to me a furoshiki in left hand As she lays it down at my feet she talks.to me "Can you deliver this to my daughter in front of us?" i get her gift I take her hand and start following her keeping the best distance.
