She is A Samurai
By HELEN KOYAMA
swinging bar doors part
in fearful respect
she walks in
with a dimestore gait
borrowed from a sailor in heat
the threat of life
clings in loyalty
to her black leather jacket
look east look west
a promenade of agression
she has everyone figured out in
the cramped space of 33 minutes
but tonight there are no
'cases to - solve “ *
_
dragons to slay
so even before they think to regain
their respected fat composures
she is gone
leaving the taste of blood to linger in their'mouths
and they have become no more than
olden days
in the memory of this only living being
she leaves
guns still smoking
never to return
_
in this lifetime
it was a simple theft
and there’s no use trying to regain the lives you have lost
people you have been robbed by
a cowboy in drag
and she and death well
they’re old pals
it is their duty and desire
to break you
she is a samurai
and you’d best .wipe your feet
and draw your sword
before entering her circle

eyes scanned the charred horizon
coming to rest
on the. black banner flying proud against ’the' night
he had stopped to catch his breath
there was no memory of a battle,
and no hope of seeing its end
his condition was infinite

walking toward the north
he stumbled over
' .
the moon bleached skull
of a horse trained for battle
it lay cold in the ashes
made no promises
but invited him in
to shakre the hunger in the air
they waited together
trembling flesh
against shining silvered bone
they united and flew streaming
looking for a pulse a vision
where they knew there could be none
but exploding weaving
looking ahead when the hope was behind them
they spun into clarity
and by strength
and will alone
caused a spark
then a fire
that roared laughing across the frozen deathscape
HANAKO
By HELEN KOYAMA
hanako silts under the brightest of lights
there’s shadow nonexistent
long black cat hail' to reach the ground
tease the solid earth with her daring
a picture of serenity snow-like
she, makes the people sleep
but there’s revenge brewing somewhere
behind the radar eyes
brown like dried blood
all that’s needed is timing
after twenty one years of
waiting for a sign,
she its as she was '.at the age of three
because when' the brain closes its doors
to the illusion of reality
watch and wait
she will brain scan us all to oblivion

She is A Samurai
By HELEN KOYAMA
swinging bar doors part
in fearful respect
she walks in
with a dimestore gait
borrowed from a sailor in heat
the threat of life
clings in loyalty
to her black leather jacket
look east look west
a promenade of agression
she has everyone figured out in
the cramped space of 33 minutes
but tonight there are no
'cases to - solve “ *
_
dragons to slay
so even before they think to regain
their respected fat composures
she is gone
leaving the taste of blood to linger in their'mouths
and they have become no more than
olden days
in the memory of this only living being
she leaves
guns still smoking
never to return
_
in this lifetime
it was a simple theft
and there’s no use trying to regain the lives you have lost
people you have been robbed by
a cowboy in drag
and she and death well
they’re old pals
it is their duty and desire
to break you
she is a samurai
and you’d best .wipe your feet
and draw your sword
before entering her circle
