Chilling autumn rains
curtain Mount Fuji, then make it
more beautiful to see
...
Bush warbler:
shits on the rice cakes
on the porch rail.
...
a cuckoo cries
and through a thicket of bamboo
the late moon shines
...
Blowing stones
along the road on Mount Asama,
the autumn wind.
...
Coolness of the melons
flecked with mud
in the morning dew.
...
you make the fire
and I’ll show you something wonderful:
a big ball of snow!
...
Cold night: the wild duck,
sick, falls from the sky
and sleeps awhile.
...
What fish feel,
birds feel, I don't know--
the year ending.
