Kamome


rain song -
slowly, strongly fills
the whole room

under this flood
august looks like a refugee

from the roofs of town
they jump to sky -
spring swallows

love ending,
winter beginning -
smell of chrysanthemum

waiting for the stars,
a man with no woman -
slow spring

a soft breeze -
is melting to moonshine
the lemons' scent

a summer storm -
seems to sponge out
all evening's colors

 sands -
the world vanishing
in a conch shell

winter scent,
while reading
an old letter

autumn afternoon -
I feel like flying
in an old mirror

facing the moon,
the simple girl raises
her bare hand

autumn evening -
those eyes watching me
have filled the sky
