強きもの something strong

 

Something strong

lurked in my soul

forcing me

to act feminine

when I grew up

大相撲 grand sumo tournament

 

 the spring tournament

has started

I tell my deceased husband in the altar

and watch sumo

on TV

八月十五日 August 15

 

on August 15*

not having lunch

my husband

sat in silence

with his eyes closed

*the memorial day for the end of the war
