Michiko Nogami (1946-1982)
Is she more apparent because
she is not anymore forever?
Is her whiteness more white
because she was the color of pale honey?
A smokestack making the sky more visible.
A dead woman filling the whole world.
Michiko said,
“The roses you gave me kept me awake
With the sound of their petals falling.”
