Read the lines from "Girl Powdering Her Neck" by
Cathy Song, then look at the artwork by Kitagawa
Utamaro.
Her hair is black
with hints of red,
the color of seaweed
spread over rocks.
Morning begins the ritual
wheel of the body,
the application of translucent skins.
She practices pleasure:
the pressure of three fingertips
applying powder.
Fingerprints of pollen
some other hand will trace.
The peach-dyed kimono
patterned with maple leaves
Mark this and return
