simply gorgeous, and you know that this topic is very special to me. i met a geisha in Kyoto one evening, and she came to our table (she was touring the entire room like this, entertaining all guests) and i could talk to her at length... then she danced, and it was breathtaking...
i think this pic of her suits your poem very well:
Drifting, drifting...that's the way it looks on the edges of our civilisation. A drifting, a searching, beyond all the known grounds for an other ground.
from Travels in the Drifting Dawn by Kenneth White
As he travels through the great human desert, this man, this lonely figure endowed with active imagination, has, you may be sure, a higher aim, a more general aim, than that of a mere strolling reporter.
Baudelaire
tutto, in natura, ha una essenza lirica, un destino tragico, una esistenza comica.
santayana
the floating elvis had heard the words the floating elvis had looked out for so long it was time to see the world he was not alone
