after it has wilted
its image still stands –
the sun flower
Ah, for blossoms
to bring gusts of wind
to my summer garden.

‘This all the same-
Blossoms in profusion
Everywhere;
And on every mountain’s edge
White clouds hang.
~The Monk En’i*
*cited:
At a loss,
To times gone past
My thoughts return;
Gloomily on blossoms have I thought,
This spring gone by.
~Princess Shokushi*
*cited:
Alongside the path
Fresh water flows, and
In the willow’s shade
Just for a little while
Would I take my ease…

paler there, the leaves

But rarely
Did he visit-now
‘Tis all in the past, and
Since then in the garden
Every single trace has gone.
