the Milky Way Railroad)
"Milky Way Bridge"
red pines--
is a woodpecker telling me
where I belong...?
shroud of moss
I step into the land
of the ancient tales
giant lotus--
following the wind
to Amida's Pure Land
autumn cicadas--
a photo of the royal couple
in the sweet shop window
tiger lilies--
the shattered dream
of an ancient lord
sharing a bath
with sound of the river
and the moonlight
