circumspectuous
I dispense with red foliage
and cherry blossoms
only the cove with thatched roofs
together at dusk in fall
*
no abode is to me
who have a road-weary horse
and sleeves to brush off
the fields around the Sano
are covered at dusk in snow
*
a woman awaiting her
lover
his footsteps I crave
over the hills and to me
obliterated
heavier the snow becomes
on the cedars at my eaves
