Both field and mountain
All taken by the snow
Till nothing yet remains.

Not for stilts
but as a cane
bamboo serves me now,
I who call to mind
the games of childhood.

the last embrace
wandering
A stick of incense stands by my pillow.
When the lantern dims, I pour some oil.
I add more clothes as the night deepens.
If you don’t mind my bare hospitality,
please keep wandering in.
~Ryokan (K Tanahashi, Sky Above, Great Wind)
winter leaves
The leaves of the bush clover rustle in the wind.
I, not a leaf,
watched you without a sound.
You may have thought I paid no attention.

a single leaf
a single leaf falls
then suddenly another,
stolen by the breeze
