spring winds
hoping the flowers burst
out in laughter

it is not cold dew
but the honey of a flower
on the tree peony

monkey’s master
beats the monkey’s jacket
on a pounding block

shaded by blossoms
it is like song in a play
resting on a journey

lying down drunk
wild pinks bloom
on the stones

a world of fragrance
in one branch of plum blossoms
a wren

the plan
for Kiso in April
blossom viewing

coming in his absence
even the plum blossoms are
in someone else’s hedge

making merry
the people at Hatsusc
wild cherry trees

year after year
the monkey wearing
a monkey mask
