our room heater now
keeps me warmth on winter nights
after my wife leaves
but I know she needs it more
with her at underground grave
winter blown me dashed
to her, never i believe
but love and loved wild
Basho’s frog is waiting
to jump in my old pond, while
in deep sleep I dream
“Great Conjunction” of
two biggest planets, soul and
divine in a line
above azure skies
snow white clouds tramping around
flowers looks brighter
shoppers hurried home
shop fronts are dark, few people
on streets here and there
so big and wider
portal of my darling land
you just can’t move out
