Gogyoshi-ren
Tribute to UNDER MILK WOOD by Dylan Thomas
Llareggub
My dreams lead me
to an ebony dark town.
I see dancing and fluid shadows
behind the windows.
The church clock strikes midnight.
I can hear the dew falling
and the sleepers’ quiet breath.
No star or moon
enlighten the sky
tonight.
Llareggub is silent
under an invisible star fall.
Yet so fairy
yet so innocent and eternal
caressed by the night sea breeze.
And I sink deeper into
that magic world
into that bible-black well of night.
An invisible and timeless realm
surrounds me silently.
Then the night
surrenders to the first lights.
Now the voice of the sea
becomes a water and wind Prayer
among the fleeing clouds.
Lidia Chiarelli, Italy

Taro Aizu, Japan - Two Dream Gogyoshi
Not America first
Not Russia first
Not even China first
Earth first!
We are Earthers!
EARTHER
I want to be an Earther
Who can cross
Not only political borders
But cultural ones
Like a cloud
#dylanday

THREE HAIKU
In the fresh green of May
I dip my eyes over and over
like the artisan dyers of Japan.
"It's not history or
culture I do this for.
It's just beautiful"; he says.
If I could live the way
they do, I would dye the
whole world green.
*"He"; is Master Dyer, Sachio Yoshioka of Kyoto, Japan.
