    solitary walk
    a heron and I
    share a nod

    鷺と我孤高の歩み会釈する


    • sun on its wings
      a blue damselfly
      scatters light

    太陽を翼に乗せる糸蜻蛉青色の身が光を散らす

    • winter rain…
      the red cedar shades
      a soldier’s grave 冬の雨レッドシダーの陰に降る兵士の墓に寒々と降る

    ripening figs–
    fruit bats circle
    the darkening sky

      beside her empty bed
      the clock ticks

    on the water’s edge
    a tiny snail

    水盤に半分の水蝸牛

    • the silent love
      that left too soon…
      faded chrysanthemum

    菊褪せて無言の愛を残しけり
