i understand how
to conduct a proper love
affair
on paper
in spirit and in truth
silent prayer...just
the moon on the road
let's all adore
in the same well of clouds
this one moon
Haiku should be just
small stones dropping down a well
with a
small splash
Don't weep, insects -
lovers, stars themselves,
must part.
tr. Lucien Stryk
Let's take
the duckweed way
to clouds.
tr. Lucien Stryk
Methodical husband:
On his list of chores, she finds
Her name
Suddenly
remembering her,
hist feet crushed gravel
