Pale summer sunlight
beats on the porcelain ladies
adorned in brightly coloredkimonos.
Orange and red sashes
circle their tiny waists,
and woodensticks pin back
silky tresses from their faces.
They squint in the yellowbrightness.
Two of the porcelain ladies
adorned in brightly coloredkimonos,
lean over the side of the bridge,
yearning for a breeze
fromthe river below.
