I Don't Care about These

I don't care about these
wild tangles in my black hair.
I just lie back down
in bed and ache for your hands
Which no longer brush them smooth.

In This World

In this world
love has no color-
yet how deeply
my body
is stained by yours.

Since That Night

Since that night
I cannot know myself.
I go to unheard of places
and sleep recklessly
on a strange bed.

- Izumi Shikibu
