|
Away from home, in Fushimi village
|
|
|
|
On the evening when, alone, I leave my village
|
|
|
|
Winter night, A: the moon, clear beyond a leafless tree
|
|
|
|
Away from home: over the dewdrops fragile on my pillow
|
|
|
|
Opening on plum twigs in the unfaded snow
|
|
|
|
With spring manifest on moss-grown
|
|
|
|
Be a guide — this is a boat rowing in the traceless waves
|
|
|
|
Oppressing all, sunken in autumn sorrows
|
|
|
|
I broil shrimp and play with my illness
|
|
|
|
Calls of a clapper rail far into the night
|
|
|
