In a Japanese Countryside
I'm in a Japanese
countryside
now,
but with whom?
Quiet community,
revived Western humanity,
that even Mt. Fuji is

That even the train cars on
metal rails in train stations
are silently drifting, giving
way for us—sleeping
in our modest households.

if only touching hands
would help this dreamland

now that—
now that he starts zen,
addicted to heart sutras;
unbelievable—
art and the language
like sake's heaven,
like Du Fu's papers,
Basho's friend have gone—

Are the places within which
—can be called our homes

I don't apply what I've learned
