YOUR ROOM _ a poem by YURI KAGEYAMA
The door is open
It still smells like you
So sweet
Strange how I don’t remember
Your smelling so sweet
I let it air out
I don’t want the smell to fade
But to let you have some fresh air

Haiku For Toru by Yuri Kageyama
deleting emails
name of dead colleague pops up
i’m thinking of you
^___<
Funny how the most unpoetic of activities can become all of a sudden emotional. That, to me, is a haiku moment. And I tried to capture that, as well as honor and express my gratitude for the long years of working with this colleague. I know I will think about him, now and then, like today. Feb. 9,2023.
