Tanka for Japan (partially inspired by Paper Beginnings, an installation at the University of York)
Silent corridor,
one thousand birds suspended,
paper beginnings
like ours, I write my secret
wish on the wings of a crane.
Tanka for Japan (partially inspired by Flood, an installation at St Marys by Susan Stockwell)
It pours through the roof,
raging river of remnants,
cascading currents
of metal and mud, this flood
drowns all sounds, but the earth’s roar.
