5th Selection, February 2011

物の哀れ

sunt lacrimae rerum et mentem mortalia tangunt

fog swirls, overtakes

the gibbous moon the wine cups

are no longer full

ironic name the

great pacific war a soldier's

son attempts haiku

sidewalk concrete bears

witness to the ghosts of leaves

lost to autumns past

ever so gentle

the winter rain fujiyama

wears down to the sea
