Virginia Eden
lemon lies and lavender love
lovely and lascivious
with lolling grace and languid liquidity
slaking lust
longing
licking
lemon lies and lavender love

Yosa Buson
They end their flight
one by one---
crows at dusk.
 Mar 2020 Mari
Yosa Buson
Not quite dark yet
and the stars shining
above the withered fields.
 Mar 2020 Mari
Yosa Buson
The spring sea rising
and falling, rising
    and falling all day.
 Mar 2020 Mari
Yosa Buson
My arm for a pillow,
I really like myself
under the hazy moon.
 Mar 2020 Mari
Yosa Buson
Evening wind:
water laps
    the heron's legs.
 Mar 2020 Mari
Yosa Buson
Lighting one candle
with another candle--
    spring evening.
 Mar 2020 Mari
Yosa Buson
White blossoms of the pear
and a woman in moonlight
    reading a letter.

Ono no Komachi
Fana no iro Fa
uturi ni keri na
itadura ni
waga mi yo ni Furu
nagame sesi ma ni


The colour of this flower
Has already faded away,
While in idle thoughts
My life goes by,
As I watch the long rains fall.
 Mar 2020 Mari
Yamabe no Akahito
The mists rise over
The waters at Asuka;
Memory does not
Pass away so easily.

~~
Asuka gawa
Kawa yodo sarazu
Tatsu kiri no
Omoi sugu beki
Koi ni aranuku ni
