Translated into Chinese by Chen-ou Liu
migrating geese
writing cursive letters
across the sky
I finally read between
the white of your lies
Runner-up, British Haiku Society Tanka Awards, 2014-2015
Chen-ou Liu's comments:
The juxtaposition between the cyclic nature and temporal precision of bird migration and the fluctuating nature of human relationships makes this poem emotionally effective.
A fresh take on relationship tanka.
