Bridge
A man on the bridge
And one below washing a horse
Chat happily.
I wonder if they are rejoicing
In the year’s abundant crops.
A Mountain Temple
A morning at the mountain temple
Is fascinating …
Through the windless air
White clouds come dancing in the yard.
A Note to a Friend
Pray, make me a gift
Of a sazanka branch
Which I once spied in your garden!
Today I hold in my tea-arbor
A warming of the hearth.
