Four Japanese Jisei Poems
I.
my wishful look
you have buried, lock and key
in this folly home
of neglect and blame,
fortune, you are thrown
II.
winter finds its return,
spurn this gold and gilt,
into damp cobwebs spun
III.
leaves, prey of the worm,
nature neither
rich nor poor,
but proud
is the creature living
IV.
her red veil hair
and green eye squint
a devotion of
distintested warmth
her life an epitaph
