_______________


secretly at night
a worm under the moon
bores into a chestnut

With what kind of voice
would the spider cry
in the autumn wind?

The dragonfly
Can't quite land
On that blade of grass.

Firefly viewing -
Drunken steersman,
Drunken boat.

at my poor hovel
there’s one thing I can offer —
small mosquitoes
