Well, Yasuko, now is the time,

quietly together, shall we go down?

In the faraway sky, even the flying birds

are filled with a childlike compassion.

                                          ---- Nakahara Chuya

shall we die together?

he whispers in my ear...

fireflies at dusk

                                       ---- Masajo Suzuki

By the hand

A whisper

Taken into your heart

Shall only this ever

Be enough

 Cats making love in the temple

But people would blame

A man and wife for mating in such a place

                                     ---- Chigetsu-ni

outside the lighthouse's

circle of light:

cats' love

                                   ---- Masajo Suzuki

The sound of cats

Mating in the temple

Almost a dare

falling snow---

too brilliant a rainbow

in my dream

---- Masajo Suzuki

first snow angel

my prayer

renews

 

Great Peace, Kazuaki Tanahashi, 2018

There'll be a shower a nun has greeted me as I am

---- Hosai Ozaki

On a white wall

          shadow of alpine rose

                    a nun passes by

---- Mitsu Suzuki

Scent of rose

A nun

In habit
