of writing
talent is a seed
but it's not a tree,
it is a seed
The seed can't be made
but it can be created
with unwavering effort.

Old, sick, and weak
leaves fall
Maple leaves cover the path
All trees cover the pain
Fallen leaves
Riding the wind that sweeps away
Autumn letters
colorful snows fall from far away
Softly, flexibly
like a baseball curve
Even when stepped on by feet
snow piles up without melting
Autumn deepens
in the chorus of the night forest.

bad person
to
an untrue
good person.

even if we hold hands
even if we talk
even if we eat together
even if we walk together
even if our eyes meet
even if we go to see each other
even if we can't share the pain together
even if we don't think of each other
even if we don't want to see each other
even if we don't enjoy each other's work
we are trembling
and get angry but we don't tremble.
