has settled on a bare branch--
autumn evening.

The crane's legs
have gotten shorter
in the spring rain.

Another year gone--
hat in hand,
sandals on my feet.

The old pond--
a frog jumps in
sound of water.

The winter sun--
on the horse's back
my frozen shadow.

When the winter crysanthemums go
there's nothing to write about
