I find my pillow wet with tears 
and discover that I have been biting my lips
Our piddling worn-out planes
Did we think we could win with these toys
how stupid
and there the high school girls waving our farewell with cherry blossom branches

Cherry Blossom
Dreams of tomorrow I must steel myself myself to a lonely sleep
Waking

with cherry blossom branches


My imagination a Hayabusa III taking off towards Okinawa on a suicide mission April 12, 1945.
