A love that is already long gone. The author’s use of the words 

‘secret’ and ‘deep water’ further enforce that this is a relationship 

beyond repair, creating an emotional work that leaves a mark 

on the audience. Kazuko Nishimura

 Comments/ Kazuko Nishimura

 From the photo, we can imagine newlyweds enjoying their summer

 honeymoon. However, the line ‘without sugar’ adds a touch of reality

 to the work, representing that the future of the couple will also include 

 plenty of bitter experiences.

the dog digs my shadow

rocking chairs
facing out to the grave side...
mine squeaks louder

the scythe turns flowers
