Character Poems: the Chosen through Time
39. Akashi Tagiru

Maybe it was consciousness
and risk
that went hand in hand.

He didn't think
but hesitation was another thing
unknown –

Granted, his rashness leaves way
to rabbit holes
to fall down and trip upon

But burning hands and feet
would never pause
till a victory lap
with his friends.
