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

#IzumiShikibu was a 10th cen. Japanese poet. In this 1986 translation of her short poems it's eerily comforting how modern her emotional voice is.

Faibka I‘ve never heard of her, will definitely check out this book! By the way that phrase from Borges in your profile description is one of my favorites! :) 7y
AlfredLordTennisAnyone @Faibka she is unlike anyone I've read. I'm sure you'll be entranced. Oh god, EVERYTHING Borges wrote is gold ❤ 7y
