Character Poems: the Chosen through Time
30. Noguchi Ikuto
A crow's beak was small
but harsh, and powerful.
He could crack nuts
with a single jab:
split them apart.
But not all troubles
could be taken care of
like that
And his little world
wasn't as black and white
as he had hoped,
But he was glad
at the end, because that larger world
gave him so much more
in delicate taste.
If only he hadn't had to lose what he had
to gain it.
