When Kiyoko laughed, there was nothing halfhearted about it, She really enjoyed
Jane Hirshfield when she was the featured guest at the Asilomar Haiku Retreat.
Jane's book The Ink Dark Moon translated from the Japanese
with Mariko Aritani had just come out.
It seemed to me these two could really communicate through their mutual love for
ancient Japanese literature, Below is a little example of Kiyoko's gift for laughter.
Such a summer day!
among the dazzling things
are my guest's knees
