Dogo
Running to Dogo
Those buzzing cicadas
arrive before me
Matsuyama Castle
Looking for the moon
In a lonely autumn sky
Matsuyama Castle
High winds rattle
the wooden walls and curtains
of Dogo hot springs
Densha
Warm train
eyes close, mouth opens
shopping bags fall
A row of black shoes
waiting to race
the down pouring rain
Matsuyama Shrine
The cold floor
Makes me dance
While I shave
Okaido
In the covered mall
a stranger in yukatta
looks back
Ishite Ji
around and around
an old stone pilgrim
autumn leaves and incense
Swirling winds
Spirit away
Burning dry leaves
Kayama Market
Sipping coffee
in the market
