1 peopleThis thirty-haiku sequence follows people and urban scenes beneath cherry blossoms, from the first bloom through drifting petals. Moving among a bar's back alley, blossom-viewing gatherings, walks with a child, and evening cherry trees, it finds solitude within the crowds and a gaze that returns to the poet's hometown.
A thirty-haiku sequence capturing changing light and a solitary consciousness amid the bustle of cherry blossoms and people.
