in that shinjuku lane <br />an old sakura tree <br />stands in my mind <br />grandma with her <br />bare hair <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />inspired by <br /> <br />The Cherry Trees <br />The cherry trees bend over and are shedding, <br />On the old road where all that passed are dead, <br />Their petals, strewing the grass as for a wedding <br />This early May morn when there is none to wed. <br />Edward Thomas<br /><br />john tiong chunghoo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-cherry-trees-2/
