In this world
we walk on the roof of hell,
gazing at flowers.
-0-
Summer night--
even the stars
are whispering to each other.
-0-
Blossoms at night,
and the faces of people
moved by music.
-0-
What a strange thing!
to be alive
beneath cherry blossoms.
-0-
Children imitating cormorants
are even more wonderful
than cormorants.
