Saying nothing
today’s waraji
donned
Into the evening sky streaks a narrow road
The moon bright
I go home
Morning sparrows,
their voices say the snow’s
arrived in the distant mountains
Your back in winter shower
you go I see
My back view as I go,
wetted with the winter rain?
Holding out its branches
a winter tree
No more houses to beg at
above the mountain clouds
Or I stop begging
and am looking at the mountain
Even my hat has started to leak I see
This frosty night’s bed must be somewhere
