MIDORI TOMIOKA

‘Neath snow covered earth, unspeakable tragedy bled. Beauty and violence yield silent mourning. A voiceless plea, a strangled kiss. Time devours flesh and bone. With ash in my eyes, I greet the dawn. Here, I am damned. Upon scorched wings I fly, howling rage in weeping sorrow. A tempest housed in human clay, thunder, a beating heart.
