KOBAYASHI ISSA ~

 



beggar child —

even in his lap

morning frost




the old hand

swats a fly

already gone




snow melting —

the thin children

of the slum




a chicken strolls

through the sitting room. . .

a long day




we start the spring

in our everyday clothes. . .

me and sparrow
