Murakami & Chekhov

Why would he banish himself,
sore lungs and a revolving heart?
How can such an obligation
translate itself generations
and geographies later?

These questions teeter
on the ledge of a lingua franca.
all those actors and acrobats
circling Carnival Road,
they too have endured an exile
as alarming as an angel's halo
forked by a sleeping assassin.
