The world of dew
is the world of dew.
And yet, and yet--

Here
I'm here-
the snow falling.

Giddy grasshopper
Take care...do not leap and crush
These pearls of dewdrop

O snail
Climb Mount Fuji
But slowly, slowly!

What a strange thing!
to be alive
beneath cherry blossoms.

Arise from sleep, old cat,
And with great yawns and stretchings...
Amble out for love
