W is for Waka
Waka is a type of Japanese poem that goes 5-7 5-7 5-7 5-7-7
"Well, I used to dance."
I say this maybe once a day.
"Yes, I used to dance."
Only four words hold such hurt.
What is this movement
Whose absence burns so deeply?
My body searches for
A rhythm, dances, shows me
Who I am… Shows that I am.
