Bunan's insight

The moon's the same old moon,

The flowers exactly  as they were,

Yet I've become the thingness

                    Of all the things I see

o o to    iedo tataku ya    yuki no mon

but someone still knocked

on the snow-mantled gate

Mid Autumn Haiku

hosusuki ya  - hosoki kokoro no  - sawagashiki

plumes of pampas grass -
the helpless tremblings
of a lonely heart.

in the evening rain!"
