Rush of wind,
Brash Energy
Ran through it all
Shining green hills,
Wandering ripples,
Damp of dirt
And dried up straw
...

Friday, April 10th, 2020 - Impromptu Dance at Manji

Captured in drawing by Etsuko Fukue (Mukak)

Falling down
A slide,

Winding left
And right

The faded plastic warmth
Of lost days ...

Sitting by a locust tree,
Writing in the dusty dirt,

Before the scent of coming rain
Washes all away ...

Three voices
Going mad

Dance the night away
In dread


The memories, the memories
Do not fade,
Do not freeze ...

Faintly laughter fills the breeze,
Before the thunder ...

The winds blow the iron chime,
The porch is soaked ...

The great machine
Grinds to dust ...

Friday, March 20th, 2020 - Impromptu Dance at Manji

Captured in drawing by Yūki Nogami

I've had a rough night,
And then a rough morning,
And then some.

All day, my mind is posessed,
And all at once,
My work crushed.

Her words still haunt me –
Even in the end,
I couldn't understand.

A real siren after all
Such a lovely,
Empty song

Yet it stirred from the depths
So much I must
Express.
