At night my sleep
embraces the summer shadows
of my life.

A winter night!
The old image of the Buddha
should be the first thing burned.

A spring-like winter day
In the aging house,
crookedness of the door being straightened,
a spring-like winter day.

I envy the wild geese
Lines
in the twilight mist
where they go I cannot see…
I envy the wild geese
only their voices trailing behind

now I see her face
the old woman, abandoned,
the moon her only companion

when i look at the moon…
When I look at the moon
I am overcome by the sadness
of a thousand, thousand things —
even though it is not Fall
for me alone.

from bare brush
along a mountain path–
the sound of frost

brittle autumn leaves
that crumble in the

fall flowers…all faded
blow if you will,
fall wind–the fall flowers
have all faded.

over the fields of
last night’s snow–

glowing leaves
fallen to the ground
like those words of old–

light remains…in the leaves
the sun goes down—
but evening light remains
in the leaves
