KotaroTakamura Poems

Definitely winter has come.
The evergreen shrub's white flowers have disappeared.
The ginko trees have turned into brooms.
...

Mars is out.
After all, what should be done? The query
brings back to a beginning a way of thought it was hard for me to follow.
...

what's so funny about raising an ostrich?
with only a few square yards of mud in a zoo,
aren't the legs too long?
the neck, isn't it too long?
...

In silence a knife is being sharpened.
Though the sun is already sinking, it is still being sharpened.
The back and the front tightly placed,
...

Half wet with spring rain, the morning newspaper,
a little heavy in my hands,
is cutting into shreds the letters and characters of this life.
...

(O mata fukitsunoru ame kaze.)
O another deluge of wind and rain.
Collar turned up, getting drenched in this splashing rain,
...

Chieko sees what cannot be seen,
hears what cannot be heard.
Chieko goes to places one cannot go,
...

You had been so waiting for a lemon
In your sad and white and bright deathbed
Your perfect teeth bit with a crunch
...

My poetry is not part of western poetry;
The two touch, circumference against circumference,
But never quite coincide….
...

The bottle of plum wine made and left by dead Chieko,
dully stagnant with ten years' weight, holds the light,
...

In front of me no road
behind me a road is made
ah the natural
a father
...

How I dread the thought
Of you leaving——

Like the bearing of fruit before blooming,
...

Not to play,
not to waste time,
you come to meet me.
-- Painting no paintings, reading no
...

In the gas stove, a fire is burning.
Oolong tea, wind, a wispy evening moon.

—— That's it. —— How things stand in this world.
The kind of earn ...
...

The Best Poem Of KotaroTakamura

Winter Has Come

Definitely winter has come.
The evergreen shrub's white flowers have disappeared.
The ginko trees have turned into brooms.

Like a sharp sharp piercing, winter has come.
Everyone dislikes winter.

Deserted by grasses and trees, run away from by insects, winter has come.

Winter,
come to me, come to me.
I have winter's strength, winter is my victim.

Permeate through, penetrate into!
Make fires break out! Bury with snow I
Like a sharp knife, winter has come.
