Courtesan

 I reworked ‘Floating’, a poem I posted on 4th November 2015,  into two haiku as a response to Carpe Diem Special #196 Hamish Gunn’s 2nd “on the street corner”

 

gift-wrapped courtesan

gorgeous ikebana bloom

inscrutable face

 

world of the teahouse

floating on tides of pleasure

artifice and art
