Tanka Cafe - Theme, Time
crying door
everyone comes
into the bar
with their own sorrow ...
happy hour
Selected Tanka
a wind song
in the sky
above the Roman ruins ---
am I the trembling rose
pale pale purple?

time of the forest

endless
the sounds of the spring ---
is there a small boat
for the last trip
of my life

the whole distance

stroking
his handwritten letters
on the postcard---
