somehow getting by these days, still
living in a haze

in my next life, let me be…
How joyous and kind!
In my next life, let me be
a butterfly afield.

with each lightning flash,
each roll of thunder, me and

tulips blossom
a world of trials,
and if the tulip blossoms,
it simply blossoms
flower gazing
in the midst of this world
we stroll along the edge of hell
gazing at flowers

blown softly away
Blown softly away
in rustling breezes, spring leaves
fields of new grasses

a single bamboo shoot
a willow branch

rabbit ears pass
Night of the full moon!
The weather in the north land
Is so uncertain.
