One Man's Maple Moon: Skinny-Dipping Tanka by Debbie Strange

English Original

skinny-dipping
with my sisters
washing moondust
from our hair
then braiding it with stars

Chinese Translation (Traditional)

與我的姐妹們
一起裸泳
並清除我們頭髮
的月塵
然後用星星編織頭髮

Chinese Translation (Simplified)

与我的姐妹们
一起裸泳
并清除我们头发
的月尘
然后用星星编织头发

  1. These great visuals (especially the concluding one) in Debbie's sensually intimate tanka resonate well with one another.
