nothing to say
and yet clouds
have a name
cherry blossoms
longing for a time
full of songs
Presence, 67: July, 2020
evening
the weight of silence
on the sunflowers
向日葵に宵のしじまの重さかな
prayers beads —
counting dreams
one by one
still learning
to say goodbye —
fireflies glow
wind shadow —
looking in the mirrror
I border time
autumn morning
a strange lack
of serotonin
stinging nettles —
every passing year
I miss you more
Winter moon —
I wear his sweater
to keep warm
Presence, 57: March 2017
a song at dawn —
already spring
on the hawthorn
