Sunday with Matsuo Bashō and Me

Ah! Summer grasses!
all that remains
of the warriors’ dreams

a wild sea-
in the distance over Sado
The Milky Way 


June clouds,
At ease on
Arashiyama Peak. 


drinking morning tea
the monk is peaceful
the chrysanthemum blooms

the passing of spring—
the birds weep and in the eyes
of fish there are tears.
