....you are far
i'm never gonna be your star
i'll pick up the pieces
to mend my heart
strange that I was wrong enough
to think you'd love me too
You must have been kissing a fool
I said you must have been kissing a fool....
(Kissing a fool)
How lonely I felt
on the cold ,cold night
when I killed that spider.
(Shiki)
This loneliness is
not simply the result
of autumn colors-
even mountain evergreens make
me feel like autumn evening.
(Saigyo)
The poetry of Zen. Translated and edited by S.H and J.P.S
Just butterflies
and sunlight
in the whole empty meadow.
(Basho)
Burdened with dark thoughts
I climbed the hill to find
wild roses blooming.
(Buson)
Traveling and lonely. I see beneath a hill
a boat painted with red clay rowing to the other side.
(Karohito)
If nothing else,
I have this tree at least
To take shelter in-
A pasania in summer.
(Basho)
