Daft Questions (Tanka)


If we’re ten foot tall
Would we invent the tractor
To pull a plough?
Or use donkeys and mules
Fifty of them on each plough?
The Exile. 1

I’ve lived
so long
abroad
that I’m
a stranger
everywhere,
except
in my
verses
the only place
where
I feel at
home and
fear not
the long knives
night.
