Dzyusi

boats loaded with barrels of sake
our love
contemplating the moon
warm with breath
women's cards with verses
sweeping the petals
amiable genre
shadows
dream within a dream

     ***

boats loaded with barrels of sake
......................
night walks
with a cheerful geisha
                Yoshiwara quarter

     ***

our love is like Fuji
                visible to everyone
.........................
will destroy us
           like poisoned wine
           wicked stepmother

     ***

contemplating the moon
             on the river bank
listen to the lyre of the winter tree
......................
or? - pick flowers
                Eastern capital

     ***

warm with breath ink
.......................
in the tea house
               fashion beauties
               smoking long pipes...
....................................
long as rain

women's cards with verses...
Ha! - itegashi
             seventh god of happiness
....................................
Hokusai has umbrellas and hats
              cover their faces

     ***

sweeping the petals
fourth month of the year of the snake
......................
and the samurai becomes a ronin!

     ***

courtesy genre Flowers and Birds
and your hieroglyphs of Happiness and Courage
...................................
my life is short
                for an ascetic feat
                love

     ***

shadows always reach for the light
that's all i'm allowed to see
...............................
but also hanamichi
                leads to a cramped dressing
                room!

          life is a dream
          seen in a dream
               /Mishima Yukio
proof of love?:
cut nails
          unacceptably smart women...
that don't fit at all
                for dzyoshi
..............................
dry stump Yorimashi
                pretending to be sad...
