Minimalist Portraits - 1. 1: Tsubomi
Tsubomi means "bud" as in "flower bud" in Japanese
Tsubomi
Â
Two boys, hands joined, under the white sky
Them grown-ups say they cannot reach
Â
Two boys, hands joined, shaded under old oak trees
Leaves flourishing in green
Â
Two boys, hands joined, hiding, twin pearls growing
Secluded from the prying adult eye
Â
Two boys, hands joined, crawling through the small hole
To their private cove of sorcery
