This is a the cover of book of I wrote, “Storyteller” a collection of tanka and prose. The original photo was by photographer Ed Ito. I altered the photo by making it into a lithograph–back in the day when everything was done in the dark room. The stars and moon made from paper cut outs, glitter sprinkled all over and then. I played in darkrooms all night–until morning light kicked me out.

The wind
blowing through my hair
there is so little time
let’s jump above the past
and dance with the wind
