tulip tree

tangled…in ignorance

Minnows are helpless

Caught in the branches of a tree

Set out to lure them,

So we too are tangled

In the snare of ignorance. ~Lord Toshiyori (Trans: N Yuasa, The Year of My Life)

I have found…

In this world

I have found

No perfect drop of dew-

Not even on the lotus. ~Issa (Trans: N Yuasa, The Year of My Life)

A child weeping

Bids me

Pick the full moon

From the sky. ~Issa (The Year of My Life, Trans: N Yuasa)
