Cranes rise from the lake
The autumn sun is setting
Somewhere, a flute sings.
~
A bright spring morning
The smile in a woman's eyes
These things, too, are dust.
~
Sun, gleaming on steel
First blood, exchanged between foes
This is a fierce love.
~
Washerwomen chat
River babbles over stones
Too soon, morning ends.
~
Climbing Mt. Fuji
Cherry blossoms in the wind
I see a Coke stand.
