It looked almost like a blanket flower—
red at the heart,
gold at the edges,
a flame set against the heat.
Beneath Tokyo’s summer sky,
its colors burned brighter,
as if refusing
to be outshone by the sun.

Under the burning Tokyo sky,
the crape myrtle bloomed—
clusters of pink fire
rising against the heat.
The city sweltered,
but the flowers refused to fade,
brighter with every hour of sun.
