Advent

It's hopeless, the stars, the books

about stars, they can't help themselves

and how could you not love them for it

here in the new week with animals

burying food and everything outlined

in cold and even friends, it's hopeless,

this mess, this season, all that

is lost and tickets and strangers,

what can I say, only sitting here

on this dark bench waiting for what

I don't know, I want this world

to remain with me, this holy tumult,

which does not know it loves me

and you, friends, spectacular driveways,

an orange, the vanishing year.

KOBAYASHI ISSA ~

Under cherry trees

there are

no strangers

    Mother I never knew,

every time I see the ocean,

    every time —

    Full moon;

my ramshackle hut

    is what it is.
