on a tree standing
by the cliff in an old farm
a dove –
how lonely his voice
calling for a friend this evening ~Saigyo (M Ueda, Far Beyond the Field)

on some days
not even a cuckoo calls
to this lone traveler

in the mosquito’s
buzz, a thread of thought
begins in my mind
~Takeshita Shizunojo*

from the shadow
of food offerings
the God of Wealth peeks out
~Issa
