Wet

In one tune
One rhythm
Look, look, how the rain falls.
The entire weather is dripping,
The whole Universe is wet.
Everything is soaked
Everything is heavier
From the wet thoughts
In the brain
To the soaking wet
Memories;
Drip drop
Drip drop
Only the slow fire of my breath
In my tired body
Burns.

Night

You once gathered it
In your arms.
You let it burrow
In your arms and breasts;
You told long stories
And lullabied it to sleep
You spoilt it so much.
Today
It is lying in my bed
Sobbing.

Monsoon’s

From the crossing
To the market
From the market
To the street
The paper boat
In monsoon’s
Orphaned waters
Uncertain
Unsure
Asks:
Every boat finds a shore
Where is mine?
How cruel
Of some innocent child
To have given meaning
To a meaningless
Piece of paper.

Ikkyu

To write something and leave it behind us,
It is but a dream.
When we awake we know
There is not even anyone to read it.

Wait

Do not drop the curtain. Wait,
The tale has not yet ended.
Do not drop the curtain. Wait,
Only the bodies have fallen
Only the actors have drowned.
The sorrows of the soul still burn;
The pains of the heart still throb;
The feeling is still breathing.
Hold the dying flame.
From this flame will rise another desire
Another star will be born
Someplace
Somewhere
Do not drop [...]
